Taekwondo

Since I really, really love movies about martial arts, I thought it would be great to post a video about Taekwondo. According to Wikipedia, Taekwondo is a Korean martial art combined with combat and self-defence techniques. This video is performed by Korean army in a Korean martial art competition. I really loved watching this video even though it was super long because I think this is worth watching it. If you don't like martial art, it might be boring to you, but you should give a try because it really does worth watching it. From out of all different martial arts, I chose to put a clip about Taekwondo, because first, I am a Korean, second Korean martial art takes not only takes a lot of time to practice, but it also takes a lot of time especially when doing in groups, to do exactly the same movement at the same time. Since I thought this was very interesting, I hope that you guys also enjoy watching the video. I thought this was really cool. Tell me, what you thought about the video.

  1. This is really cool!! I wished I could do that. Even though its funny how they scream. My brother used to do Karate and he would scream when he did his katas, so I would always make fun of him. It gives it passion, but I found it funny. Still, it is very cool that they could do that.

  2. Wow this video was really cool. They're very adept at all this martial arts stuff and that's pretty impressive. What I did not like from the video though was how they screamed. I found it annoying every time they would yell because it seemed unnecessary and exaggerated, but I guess making it exaggerated was the point. Great post Ji Eun!

  9. Awesome! I wish I could fight like that, but those kind of fights look hard to learn and kind of dangerous. Also, at the beginning it seemed impossible to do those tricks.

  12. These are not ordinary human beings. I imagine the endless hours of training and dedication to master these skills must be very demanding. I enjoyed the video and I am looking forward to someday attending one of these events.

  13. This is incredibly surprising... The amount of effort and time put into this must be unbelievably high. I would say they're that good because they're asian.. But it's really just hours of practice for years.

  15. This video, besides of being col because of the abilities those people have, shows that a discipline can be learned to benefit ourself in ways you would not imagine.
