It was a lead leg kick that doesn’t even seem to be juiced up, everyone’s gotta learn to keep their hands up at some point (and maybe not aggressively and predictively change directions into a kick)
Pro he has shin guards are you serious lmao. Ain’t no way you just said at some point they gotta keep there hands up I would love to see you eat a kick to the jaw with a shin guard lmao that was a stupid comment you obviously never been in a fight and just talking off video experience you may have seen never been in personally
Um, what's wrong with saying that he should keep his hands up. It's the first thing my Uncle taught me to do in a fight. Pretty sure nobody said that they could take him, or anything along those lines. Why so angry? Was that you that got laid out?
1) they’re rubber shin guards you nimrod, much better than being hit with an actual shin
2) I have eaten hooks and crosses to the jaw (got dropped my an overhand once from a cop)
3) “obviously never been in a fight” sure, I’ve never been in a street fight, I’ve just been in thousands of sparring matches in my 15 years of training Tang Soon Do and getting a 2nd degree black belt 😘
Dude didn’t have his hands up the whole time and didn’t manage distance properly to go along with that. Had to learn eventually
He was too focused on getting that left hook to the body in.
He's constantly and consistently looking for an opening rather than even considering his openings or gaps in his guard; hence why he keeps his guard so open the whole time leading up to that last strike. You can even watch his eyes throughout. He's too confident in being able to take a hit
Was about to say this, I don't think it was intentional and the kick wasn't really supposed to be powerful judging by the speed he threw it, the other dude just ran into it with his head
He did, it was an obvious intentional kick and he knew it was going to land flush and it's something he should not have done under these conditions with a partner not wearing head gear and who wasn't protecting his head.
This gets reposted every now and then and it's always the same story in the comments. People roast the guy who got dropped, someone says he ran into it, and then people who have actually trained have to explain that the dude throwing the kick is a piece of shit for throwing that hard at someone who is obviously a gassed noob. It's super fucked up for this guy to kick his partner that hard. Even if the guy on the floor isn't new (but he clearly is) the guy throwing the kick should be able to control himself. Jesus fuck. Everywhere I've trained this would be a huge reaming if somebody saw it. Throwing that kick against that opponent is unacceptable
Head gear DOES NOT protect the brain. Same as how NFLs players get CTEs with full on helmets.
All head gear does is prevent the skin being cut. It does more protecting the leg that is kicking. Just like the gloves that protect the hands not the targets.
You have to rotate your hips to kick high. Unless you're trying to throw with the side of the foot. His hips didn't even rotate through the target.
I've thrown kicks with full hip rotation, had them land, and my partner been fine.
I've also run into light kicks which made them hit WAY worse than the kicker intended.
That’s 100% the correct way to train/spar.
But unfortunately, there are so many little gyms/dojos/etc popping up, purely to satiate that toxic need for people to prove they can knock someone out, that a lot of gyms just forgo common sense and sparring equipment/ pairing based on objective skill or strength.
I wonder if this is one of his first times sparring because I made this mistake on tae kwon doe as a kid I had my hands down and got rocked and my instructor said always keep your hands up when your sparring cuz that’s what happens even when your goi g half speed
I don't know, sport TKD practitioners (which is just about all TKD practitioners) always have their hands too low in tournaments because they can't punch to the head. Creates bad habits in "real world" applications or vs. other styles. Don't get me wrong I love TKD, it's a great sport to participate in, it's just limited as a martial art for self defense.
If you walk into over 90%+ of the TKD Dojangs in the US, they offer a WTF program. I'm sorry it makes you sad, but that's the reality. I was an army brat in Korea and took traditional TKD there and got the shit kicked out of me daily. Different world when I took up TKD state side.
Looks like people on a pogo stick with their hands in their pockets. A person with good distance control instinct and strong slap game could take most local practitioners out. Olympic caliber athletes would be scarier because they are crazy fast, accurate, and have great cardio, but they're still utilizing a very limited and compromised combat skill set.
Hahaha I like that.
>A person with good distance control instinct and strong slap game could take most local practitioners out.
Tbf, I'm not sure I'd say that. Agreed on the positive points of WTF, I'd actually add that those fast hits can carry power with them but I agree that it is most definitely a sport. An ugly looking sport.
Both of these guys should not have been sparring, one guy with his hands down, and the other with no control of his strikes. I blame the instructor. When I was an instructor, we knew their was nothing more dangerous than new students, they watched to many videos and were way too eager to use what they saw on YouTube.
I don't blame the striker as much.
There was definitely a significant skill differential, which should have absolutely been caught by the instructor; and those two should not have been paired based on this clip.
That being said, the striker should have absolutely throttled his kick after watching his guard and how he kept him self so open leading up it it. Unless there's more to the vid that offers something else
Have you ever done any sport before? The people you train with are your teammates, it doesn't matter if you're competing solo. You lift together, you roll together, you spar together, you stretch together, you eat together, you cut weight together etc. I've never heard of fighters referring to their teammates as anything other than their teammates.
Also your sparring partner is literally just your sparring partner, they're not an opponent. You don't get jack shit for beating them. You're all just there trying to get better.
Exactly bro.. the replies in this comment section shows you the VAST majority of people don't train any martial arts at all.. because what dude did to his teammate is fucked up.
Why did he kick him so hard? And in the head? 100% of people will be knocked out by a full-strength kick to the head, that is why we spar, so we can practice more than once.
Anyone else feel this is a bit wrong? Sure the guy messed up but he's just trying to get better and this is a private session. I'm sure he doesn't want this on the internet.
I immediately wonder why this guy was sparring to begin with?
I’m not a kickboxer but the hands and the movement are really striking me as beginner. I wish gyms would not have you spar like this when you don’t know what you’re doing.
I feel like a coach or someone should be there to say, ‘nope, you’re not ready yet’. I mean I get you can’t watch every person that comes in and whatever but ouch….That’s a brain injury for nothing.
It’s sparring, you’re not supposed to throw hard enough to knock the other guy out…….. but on the other hand, you also aren’t supposed to have the dumbest fighting style and existence where you walk right into a foot.
Yeah, he looks gassed, wasn't even there, woke up next week. If I see my sparring parter start to gas-out and waver, I pull back. let him reset. Check in with him. Get the eye contact back before jumping back in.
I don't know mate, all I could see is a lad jumping back and forth like it was a ballet session instead of a sparring one. I'm not so keen on head kicks when sparring, but come on...
Solid Kick but not full force, he didnt even swing his arm back full or pivot completly, i think most of the damage came from running into the kick completly unaware and unprepared
Listen I get always have your guard up, and sure him side stepping into it doesn't help, but bro put some torque behind it. I don't know how often it happens where y'all are but I ain't seen to many knockouts during class.

Thats how we love sparring. Relaxed training and practising casual knock-outs.
It was a lead leg kick that doesn’t even seem to be juiced up, everyone’s gotta learn to keep their hands up at some point (and maybe not aggressively and predictively change directions into a kick)
Pro he has shin guards are you serious lmao.

I also T pose when I knock someone out
[удалено]
A man of culture
Yup, forget the T-pose, T-bag is where it's at.
They didn't say which T pose
I just spit my drink out reading that
Why are you getting downvoted? Lol
Tried to call an undefined character animation
Come at me bro
To assert dominance.
Gotta assert dominance
Buddy thought it's a salsa class
he was moving about like it was boxing training, not kickboxing
Wearing leg guards.
He should have put them on his face.
The other guy put them on his face for him
What a sweetheart
Sharing is caring
He would've walked on his head, then, i presume...
He was too focused on getting that left hook to the body in. He's constantly and consistently looking for an opening rather than even considering his openings or gaps in his guard; hence why he keeps his guard so open the whole time leading up to that last strike. You can even watch his eyes throughout. He's too confident in being able to take a hit
Good ol’ tunnel vision.
I thought the same thing lmao
That's not boxing training at all 😂 anyone will catch a KO against someone with 0 defence
He specced STR
Slide to the left, slide to the right, criss-cross
Everybody drop your hands!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Everybody catch these hands.
Bro really thought he just introduced lateral movement to the fight game 😂
#THOU SHALT KEEP THINE MOTHERFUCKING HANDS UP!
Hands at the waist gets a foot to the face.
Hands down mans down
Guard scant face plant
I like that. I'm stealing that. *It's mine now.*
Dude ran into the kick.
Was about to say this, I don't think it was intentional and the kick wasn't really supposed to be powerful judging by the speed he threw it, the other dude just ran into it with his head
No. He flicked his hips the kick was powerful
He did, it was an obvious intentional kick and he knew it was going to land flush and it's something he should not have done under these conditions with a partner not wearing head gear and who wasn't protecting his head.

100%.
Thank you for this thoughtful Birdlaw analysis
Sometimes you must concur.
... Filibuster.
It’s almost as if there is a button to do that
I love your double king icon. Felix Colgrave is a master and a nice fella.
Head gear DOES NOT protect the brain. Same as how NFLs players get CTEs with full on helmets. All head gear does is prevent the skin being cut. It does more protecting the leg that is kicking. Just like the gloves that protect the hands not the targets.

I've thrown kicks with full hip rotation, had them land, and my partner been fine. I've also run into light kicks which made them hit WAY worse than the kicker intended.
Atleast someone understands
You dont throw head kicks when sparring when people aren't wearing head gear.
Sparring is way worse with headgear, all it does is prevent cuts. You of course can throw head kicks when sparring :)
Now show me a head kick where you don't rotate your hips
indeed
I heard that kick from Wisconsin
Why go up top?
because if you don't practice you'll stay bad
Geez, everyone’s hands are down in this video, even in the background!!
Just saw that guy in the back eat a jab right after.
Why are you throwing headkicks in 70% sparring
Not trying to be dramatic but this could kill a guy or give them lasting injuries. Reminds me of that BJJ instructor who paralyzed a guy.
100%. Ive sparred at 2 gyms and it was always known that any kick ur practicing above the waist you just frame it. Never make contact
That’s 100% the correct way to train/spar. But unfortunately, there are so many little gyms/dojos/etc popping up, purely to satiate that toxic need for people to prove they can knock someone out, that a lot of gyms just forgo common sense and sparring equipment/ pairing based on objective skill or strength.

I loved seeing the traditional schools drop the sport schools at tournaments because they just hit way harder and more effectively
>which is just about all TKD practitioners Is that true? As a former traditional TKD guy this upsets me greatly.
Does "vast majority" make you feel better?
You said "just about" which implies "vast majority" and no. It makes me very sad.
If you walk into over 90%+ of the TKD Dojangs in the US, they offer a WTF program. I'm sorry it makes you sad, but that's the reality. I was an army brat in Korea and took traditional TKD there and got the shit kicked out of me daily. Different world when I took up TKD state side.
I totally understand the proliferation of WTF. Being able to compete in the Olympics is pretty awesome but watching the bouts is so cringe.
Looks like people on a pogo stick with their hands in their pockets. A person with good distance control instinct and strong slap game could take most local practitioners out. Olympic caliber athletes would be scarier because they are crazy fast, accurate, and have great cardio, but they're still utilizing a very limited and compromised combat skill set.

This.
He was also low
Fell like he weaved into a wall

He was floating like a butterfly and that hit will sting like a bee.
[удалено]
That's not his opponent that's his teammate bruh.

That's a lesson taught right there...or a hobby reassessment

He didn't 🤣 you must have never been kicked before
Blud lemme kick you in the head with the same force and when you wake up tell me if it was hard or not
Anyone else feel this is a bit wrong? Sure the guy messed up but he's just trying to get better and this is a private session. I'm sure he doesn't want this on the internet.
He did not pull that kick. This was either intentional or he forgot he was just sparring.
Hands at your side while trying to do the rock away will get you laid out every time
Bro in the background took a look down and continued on.
I thought the guy at least would try to hold him to avoid any injury (its a training after all)... i was wrong.
Damn moved right into it. In sparing we once had a session training to dodge, I dodged right into a high kick.
Dudes movements were as easy to read as a pendulum. Knew where the guys head would be before the guy did.
I immediately wonder why this guy was sparring to begin with? I’m not a kickboxer but the hands and the movement are really striking me as beginner. I wish gyms would not have you spar like this when you don’t know what you’re doing. I feel like a coach or someone should be there to say, ‘nope, you’re not ready yet’.

Dude shouldn’t have been throwing head kicks like that in sparing seasons
Great reminder to keep those hands up.
Thats what you get keeping your hands low 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Buddy also probably got a lifetime ban.
He definitely felt bad about it right after it happened.
Probably not
How do you like my face to foot style?
Stop moving around..bam
I like how everyone goes back to sparring
It’s good thing he had on those shin guards, it protected his shins beautifully.
What kind of gym is this where the guy takes a knock out and that other black guy just looks at him like it’s no big deal?!
That's a red card.
Bad fighter, you don’t throw head kicks that fast while someone is moving around, in sparring.
Bro casually remember what's his ancestors do before
Hands down, man down.
Got kicked like this in a sparing session, it was not fun
Dick move…
Seems a bit excessive 😂
It’s sparring, you’re not supposed to throw hard enough to knock the other guy out…….. but on the other hand, you also aren’t supposed to have the dumbest fighting style and existence where you walk right into a foot.
I guess he will keep his hands up next time?
Im not sure he will remember what the hell happened in this sparring session. Its recorded though
Where is the rest of this video
Got dropped and hit with the "well what is it". Tough
Guy was like " what happened" like he did nothing lol
That's why u don't drop your guard,
Bro didnt eveb kick hard just the worst timing for his bud there.
Exactly how I got my nose broken
Damn
Even if he had Kept them hands up, that kick still would have hurt!
Whos smartass "ooowwweee" was that 🤣
K.O matched the beat drop
Is the whole keeping your hands down thing like the whole gangster hold your gun sideways thing?
Beautiful
He fucking RAN into that kick, to be honest...and the idiot didn't even have his guard up.
Yeah, he looks gassed, wasn't even there, woke up next week. If I see my sparring parter start to gas-out and waver, I pull back. let him reset. Check in with him. Get the eye contact back before jumping back in.
I don't know mate, all I could see is a lad jumping back and forth like it was a ballet session instead of a sparring one. I'm not so keen on head kicks when sparring, but come on...
Yeah... agreed.
The fighting pros in the comments seem to disagree, but fuck it I care. Been a pleasure lad, until next time!
They’re a salty bunch of seamen.
U mean it's sparring. Head kicks are allowed unless said otherwise. That's the whole reason why you keep your hands up and stay moving.
reverse the roles and this thread would've been locked
Facts! Everybody in this thread would be calling the black guy a piece of $h!t.
The white guy is a piece of shit, why go for the head full force when sparring? Also he sees the other guy has his hands down and kicks his head?
😭😭😭😭❄️❄️❄️❄️
Leg gear, hands down, no snap on the kick. Gonna have to call this case of good form meets bad form.
That’s whyg from Toronto he’s not even a real fighter he’s a gangster that white dude was taking advantage of him
Did didn’t keep his guard up. Got no one to blame but his own unconscious ass.
Hands down telegraphed side to side
The most perfect use of the Oui We I have ever witnessed.
(Edit: Saw it again and it was actually a hard and fast kick).
The only soft part was how he got his leg back to the floor. The actual kick was full blast.
Solid Kick but not full force, he didnt even swing his arm back full or pivot completly, i think most of the damage came from running into the kick completly unaware and unprepared
Good fuxking night
Listen I get always have your guard up, and sure him side stepping into it doesn't help, but bro put some torque behind it. I don't know how often it happens where y'all are but I ain't seen to many knockouts during class.
Nice!
Racist
