Talk is cheap. This is real power.
Hereās a guard for ya bud.
Ngannou is impressed if I was a chick.
Thereās a steroid head in my former club who dropped the board I broke with a reverse punch. he had another guy holding it with him, still couldnāt make it.
I donāt remember how many they used but it went flying.
I was pissed about something that day and asked to smash something.
Our instructors used it for gradings but wasnāt that big on it.
Do you have rank in Taekwondo?
Are belt ranks important?
No. Just wondered if he had formal training in it.
I did ask a Muay Thai trash talker if he would be willing to face me in a kicking match.
āI am not going to face a TaeKwonDo (expert) in a kicking boutā.
Canāt blame him for being ambigious. lol
Please explain to us your (expert) credentials in TKD.
8 years of training, got all colored belts. Couldnāt grade for black due to corona, and I didnāt care after that. Havenāt been in the dojang since.
I would only grade for it if I needed it, which I donātā¦ So many clowns with black belts, thereās no prestige in it anymore. I wouldnāt just grade and pay for the belt alone, if I wasnāt going to use it to get entrance into competition.
So a first degree black belt in TKD is expert level?
Yes.
Quoting my instructors textbook.
1-3rd dan -Assistant instructor
4-6th dan instructor
7-8th Master
9 - grandmaster
If you are qualified to assist in teaching a learning student, you are āexpertā.
Definition of black belt
(Entry 1 of 2) : one who holds the rating of expert in various arts of self-defense (such as judo and karate) also : the rating itself.
This guy is 9th dan level
He is so loose and powerful at the same time, and fast.
At the time full contact WC (TaeKwonDo rules but no protection).
Still alive! Jong soo park, the main demonstrator (heavy weight) passed away recently though.
I was blown away as a kid that the producers finally hired a real martial artist in these crappy movies.
You can see from his hip torques that heās a fighter, and he wasā¦ Texas styleā¦
I cannot say.
I am not a TKD specialist.
I do not liked getting kicked.
I am specialized in that opinion.
He said that heās a fish out of water against side kicks and back kicks, and so he would get smashed. I thought that was big of him. Still a dick.
Yes
Also in TSD and HKD.
among others
Also-
1st Dan is hardly expert.
Which did you like best?
My instructor was a long time friend and vice president of this guyās organization.
When they parted ways, we were incorporating bjj into the training at blue belt.
Ever heard of Guy Mezger before he joined MMA?
