Taekwondo vs Karate
Karate and Taekwondo looks similar for people who do not practice martial arts, but the two styles are different, one is Japanese and the other is Korean.
The sparring style in both styles is not the same, and also the Kata in Karate is different than Poomsae in Taekwondo.
The sparring in some styles of karate is a full contact except some styles such as shotokan Karate, but Taekwondo is a full contact martial art.
we have here a full contact fight between Taekwondo and Karate, and without any gears. For the Karate athlete is okay because they are used to spare without gears, but the Taekwondo is different, and athletes are using head, chest, arm and shin guards in the sparring.
In this fight we can see that Taekwondo started well by throwing some good kicks, while the karate fighter was focusing more on punching.
After a short time the Taekwondo athlete started feeling tired, this says a lot about his bad stamina.
The karate fighter was not good at kicking so he was using some low kicks and a lot of body punches to the body.
The Taekwondo fighter succeeded to reach the head of the Karate athlete by roundhouse kick but it did not have a big effect on him.
In the second round, the Taekwondo fighter was already showing that he was already tired, therefore he was receiving punches from the Karate fighter,and it seems that Taekwondoo athlete was not trained to handle all this punches.
The Karate fighter succeeded to end up this fight by a knock down by punches.
What do you think about this fight? Do you think this Taekwondo athlete is ready to do sparring with other styles or not?

ReplyDeleteQuite interestingly, the style of the karate-ka that defeated the taekwondo jin is Kyokoshinkai ryu, a style invented by the Zainichi Korean Master Choi Bae Dal famously known in Japan as Mas Oyama. Basically, this karate style has some Korean origin and flare as well.
The TKD opponent seemed to be so tiered and had a very hard time connecting with kicks
ReplyDeleteKarate was a far more experienced fighter and had more stamina
ReplyDeleteLook at General Choi's ITF Bible, and then Sosai Oyama's books. The techniques are the same. Parts of Kata/Poomsae are identical to the point that to perform at dan level in one style, I have to 'forget' the other, temporarily. They are not copies,(don't want to go from Goyru into Joong Jang in a grading, or even Poe Eun into Tekki Sono Ichi) they evolved from the same source, predominantly China.

ReplyDeleteAs much as it pains me to say, the TKD fighter seemed to lack the stamina needed to fight. There were several instances where TKD guy could’ve used a push kick to get Karate guy off of him. TKD sparring grabbing the leg is not used in sparring. TKD guy was maybe not prepared for take downs?
ReplyDeleteThat TKD guy was not that experienced. For sure not a Black belt.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Yellow belt or Blue...
