Himokiri Karate Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I was going to mention North Korea but ITF taekwondo is very similar to Karate. The way they kick and punch is almost identical to Tang Soo Do which is Korean Karate. It begins with the knowledge that the severity of a strikes impact is amplified by a smaller surface area.

The ITF the North Koreans are doing are heavily laden with sine wave motion, and the performance of their forms will not resemble much of anything like Karate or TSD. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
