Tae Kwon Do

TraditionalTKD Says:

Oct 24, 2007 - Other than adding the inefficient Sinewave and promoting Tae Kwon Do with black belts he took from Chung Do Kwan, Choi added nothing to Tae Kwon Do.He may have been an idea man, but he certainly was not a teacher.

Nov 12, 2007 - I can understand positive criticism with valid evidence to support an argument...but I think its funy how easy it is for people to slate styles and practitioners...What about yourself..How hard do you work to make your art or inner being the best it can be...Once you're perfect then maybe say something...

KenBuDO Says:

Jan 24, 2008 - It seems you know so much ! but did you know that Gen Choi gave the name Taekwondo, and it seems to me that you havent learned the proper respect in Taekwondo !!!

TraditionalTKD Says:

Jan 25, 2008 - That is debatable. Gen. Choi claims he did, but Duk Sung Son claims he originated the name but Choi took credit for it. I guess we'll never know.I do know this: Choi was notorious for taking credit for the work of others.I respect those who deserve respect. Those in the ITF get into a tizzy whenever it is brought up that Choi was perhaps not as honorable as they like to think.

Jan 19, 2009 - subak, taekkyon, and shotakan karate were the main styles he used to make Taekwondo. but he used only what he needed from them and developed it into on big new art that combined the arts of korea and karate that had been studied during the japanies invasion. good video:)

Mar 31, 2009 - Many MMA fighters have a taekwondo backround e.g Bass Rutten and Cung le and many K-1 fighters like Park Yong Soo,Kenji Ozak and Serkan Yilmaz who can pull of even the fanciet of kicks.And taekwondo uses the hand elbow,knee all that stuff even self defense for blue belt and higher so many instead of saying tkd sucks you should know your role and SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

Apr 9, 2010 - i think it meant something as a accomplishment if you got your black belt several decades ago

jiggahippo Says:

May 27, 2010 - ur wrong, kung fu was the basis of tkd and ninjitsu!

ddandbd Says:

May 27, 2010 - I don't think so mate, I know one of the Pioners of Taekwondo and train with the England Team Captain. also did a big study on it.

jiggahippo Says:

May 27, 2010 - everybody says they trained with the creator! blah blah, blah! i WAS THERE! I was in the room when they made this system! I KNOW ALL!

papaiosif Says:

Jul 2, 2010 - shotokan was the basis of TKD end of story. simple as that and some taekkyon blends...then adopt them to korean people and mentality but keeping the karate core... this is how TKD was made.

jiggahippo Says:

Jul 6, 2010 - The only thing bad about this video is the music that ACTAULY PLAYS IN THE VID! And its more like a VHS tape than a DVD U must fast forward and rewind like a VHS tape, no chapters! :O( other than that its an excellent historical teaching tool for younger students. or in papaiosif there is simplly no help! so sad, so sorry!

papaiosif Says:

praveenrock5 Says:

Mar 27, 2011 - fuck u you've seen the wtf sport action only,don't talk without trying u mother fucker

smokinthepot Says:

Mar 27, 2011 - ive looked into ITF yeah its more usefull but still it falls short when the upperbody knockout power is needed.

jiggahippo Says:

Nov 4, 2011 - u looked into it? and now u have knowldge to say "it" has no knock out power? U obviously have not seen ITF fighting or trained in ITF so be nice and only talk about what u know.

LucPFT Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - In the description it says Gen Choi's successor is Grandmaster Park. This is not true. General Choi never named a successor, although he had a few last words about Chang Ung that weren't necessarily clear. And a few years before that desiring his son to take over before all the political deception that forced Gen Choi to expel his own son from the ITF.Anyway...
