pointfighter1000 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Would do you prefer and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I don't prefer neither of them because they've given in to the politics of the governing association that's operating said tournament. Imho. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkon72 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Neither, I used to do semi-contact point sparring, or playing tag as it is also known. Tea Kwon Do kick fighting for points is something I haven't experienced; but I don't like the look of it. Look to the far mountain and see all.

bushido_man96 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'd enjoy the TKD Olympic style sparring more, without the pads and chest protectors. I think it would be a lot better that way. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanSK Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I like this short-lived Pro Taekwondo from the 1990's. Olympic style TKD without chest protectors or headgear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBmHAGZ8QiA Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything.

I thought the fights were great, and I even saw a win by KO with a punch to the body! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I truth, I'd rather do TKD sparring because of its constant sparring ideology. I have to admit that I don't like karate sparring because of its one and two step-sparring likeness. If I want to do one or two step-sparring, well, I'd do that instead. **Proof is on the floor!!!

Try to look up that Pro TKD, Bob. I think you will like and appreciate what you see. Its essentially Olympic TKD without the chest protectors and pads, like IcemanSK mentioned. Really was good stuff; lots of contact, not so much of the tip-tap look. It was a full-contact venue that allowed the counter-kicking and jump-spinning kicking to be showcased, along with the power they really put forth. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickshooter Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 IMO they both stink. To this day, I still can't figure out why TKD required chest protectors. Now you have a lot of paddy cake kicks instead of those power kicks that used to fold people in half. It's painful to watch some of todays matches as competitors sometimes look like donkeys gone wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
