Jun 9, 2010 - these are nice matches. this sport is not a UFC kind of sport. dont get me wrong i like UFC and all of that but this i like to watch more its just like waaaaw ive done this sport when you see 2 fighters that are fast and skilled it is the best to watch sport in my opinion.

Jul 11, 2010 - No, I've been learning Taikwondo for a few years now. You use punches to get your oppenment away from you, a blow to any of the nerves will have your oppenment helpless for a while and you feet are unable to get to those areas. so :P LaBelS11 Is complettly right, get on the wrong side of anyone who has been trained in the art can get you into hospital pretty quickly...

Aug 9, 2010 - Why call it 'full contact' with all that armor and the fact that you're *disqualified* if you knock someone out? That seems...odd.
deathmonk15 Says:
Aug 14, 2010 - yeah i remember in my tornament punching doesnt work 1 because your not allowed head shots with punches 2 there wearing a chest pad and middle section punches get almost completley absorbed by the pad and have no effect in tkd kicks are the only thing that works

Aug 18, 2010 - @LaBelS11 i think so to and im korean and practised taekwondo and the classes lasted for over 2 hours and they really push you and it practises a mix of defense and attack.
Lemonbread2 Says:
Aug 22, 2010 - Uh, not to mention that the leg is longer than the arm. Therefore, if you can get close enough to punch someone, the chances are they're going to kick you before you get a chance to make contact. That's a fact. I wrestled for 8 years and started taikwondo 6 months ago, and using the taikwondo stances really threw my UFC friend off balance cause he was used to people that kept their head in front of them. Where in Taikwondo you keep it back since you're not punching, it's mostly kicks.

Aug 27, 2010 - tkd sparring is fun and its a sport, it is not to be compared with this MMA cage match / UFC nonsense.. that is just barbaric, like gladiators. this is just fun, and it requires different things than just brute strength - requires thinking, planning, and skill. and for the ppl who complain about rules like "no punches to face" and say its fake - think of it like a sport.. in basketball, u have to dribble the ball, but it would be easier to run with it in ur hands... but thas boring!
reinheart14121412 Says:
Aug 27, 2010 - @scottmbolt Naah there are different types of tkd and this WTF type doesnt use much of punches xP ITF other hand uses just much punching as kicking :)
goldsmash9 Says:
Aug 31, 2010 - lol if people say its not a real fighting sport then get a black belt to do a back kick on ure stomach no guard. yh ure kinda fked i think that easily smashes a punch.
jackieeee007 Says:

jackieeee007 Says:
Sep 2, 2010 - @wingwangman true init..dats like sayingwhy don't ppl use kicks in boxing...
Heheh274 Says:
Sep 2, 2010 - @jackieeee007 boxing is boxing. You use your fists to win the match. In TaeKwonDoe you use mostly your legs and feet. Every martial art is different.
jackieeee007 Says:
Sep 2, 2010 - @Heheh274 i know that..i am saying..ppl saying why dont ppl use hands in tkd is like sayingwhy dnt ppl kick in boxing..

Sep 3, 2010 - What is a good training schedule for taekwondo? I currently attend 3 classes a week which are all 2 hours long. Also I play football (soccer *roll eyes*) 2-3 days during the week.
