Very gymnastic. TKD does use a lot of foot technique. Many years ago I was at a demonstration where TKD green belts were flying over Carmen Ghia's and doing breaking tricks. It was quite impressive to say the least. When we saw the green belts on them it was even more impressive.

This is neat to watch, but to me it's more gymnastics than TKD IMO...

Yes indeed a lot of gymnastics involved but the I believe they train their legs. Years ago we referred to TKD as ariel foot fighting. This demonstation simply shows at what level the power and coordination their bodies are at. It was quite spectacular indeed

Sorry, I guess I'm not impressed by anything that looks more like XMA than Taekwondo. The only break that I really liked was the blindfolded jump spin hook kick hitting the apple. Nice hang time on that kick.

It's only one inch pine. but TKD seems to be a bit more flashy in their demonstrations...at least the few that I've seen back in the way day. I can't do it...dont know too many that can so...I am impressed that they can get their bodies to do that...even if it is 1 inch pine :)

Interesting. Very impressive technique and athleticism. Maybe we'll see some of these guys in the WWF (or whatever they're calling themselves these days) or in the next Jackie Chan flick, but the question remains: WHAT DOES THIS STUFF HAVE TO DO WITH MARTIAL ARTS?!?
