A normal big man challenged an ITF master and knocked down 😳
Taekwondo is a true and effective martial art, and and known for the diversity in its techniques especially in kicks.
We can not hide the fact that Taekwondo is loosing its tradition day after day, because the World Taekwondo is promoting the sports version of Taekwondo, which logically affected most schools.
Most Taekwondo schools are teaching the competition style of Taekwondo, which focus more of how to score points in sparring.
The traditional Taekwondo contain very effective kicks, and when we say traditional we mean both of the ITF Taekwondo and the Kukkiwon Taekwondo, and it is a bit sad to see that Taekwondo is turning to something else. The changes happening in Taekwondo competition affect directly the way we train in our dojangs.
Some people are describing Taekwondo as ballet or fencing because of the way it is promoted, but the truth is that we have many Taekwondo schools that teach the traditional form of Taekwondo.
Some people really do not believe in martial arts, and they see them as something for entertainment and fitness purposes.
In this video it seems this big man wanted to check if Taekwondo is a real thing or just a show, so he challenged this ITF master into a sparring.
The ITF master who looks too small compared to the other man accepted the challenge to have a sparring with him. It took only one head kick (Nelyo Chagi) to knock him down.
Some of the viewers won't like that ITF master took the thing a bit seriously, but Lets see the other side, what if the ITF master was beaten by the normal man?
