Hart Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hey everyone. I haven't posted in this section of the forum before, but I just found a video on YouTube featuring Taekwondo in MMA. I practice Karate but nonetheless admire Taekwondo. Hope you find it interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA7MGtX3kDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceKing Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I think if you only did TKD then you would suck in mma matches, but Lukasz(the guys name) does a little more then just that but it his primary art. He is from Poland so he is a tough guy just like all us Polish people. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohan Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Good video. His TKD pedigree is obvous with those powerful precise kicks. No doubt TKD has some of the best kicks in the world. Lukasz has a lot more skills than just TKD, though. Seems to have had some judo and grappling added on, and looks like he's got a good boxing coach.Thanks for the vid.Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

Obviously he has other training, but he is a 4th degree co-school owner in ATA TKD. (Danny Abaddi). AFAIK, he is still on the show, I didn't catch the last episode.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont call me Sir Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Don't forget Mark 'The Wizard' Weir, who is a very successfull mma fighter. http://www.range-fighting.comI was lucky enough to train/spar with him in the mid 90's when he was a member of the GTI Taekwondo organisation.DCMS "There's nothing wrong with my defence, you attacked me wrong!"
