He wasn't wearing glasses. If I was fighting TKD I'd be watching the feet too. Their wearing semi-contact gloves, so they'd have been taking a 'horse stance' anyway and not a boxing or kickboxing stance. It was a good kick, but some of those TKD guys have brilliant legs IMO.

Yeah, seems like all TKD Tournaments Ive been to they had HD gear on. I guess they're living dangerously now!

Regardless, headgear wouldn't have stopped that knockout.

You are right headgear protect has long has the its not clean, bu that kick was perfect.

I can't wait to get back into action.

I competed in tae kwon do for over 7 years and even with the head gear i saw some pertty good knockouts, spinning back kick where the most impressive.

I love tae kwon do but its not a complete sport, they should really have more hand technics.

Yannick I love the spinning back kick. But mess it up and your in deep shit.

**yannick32** · 05-23-2005, 11:36 AM

Tae kwon do is pertty flashy but you are right and for defense its not the best art out there.

The counter back kick is its best defense, when a guy rush into you or gives you a wheel kick but the timing can be perfect.

THe seisei near my house has a mix of karate styles and tae kwon do, should be very interesting.
