This is our style of TKD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gri-9DsmeDw&spfreload=10

When I opened that link, I got a video of a group of late middle aged women doing disco dancing to advertise tampons.

Is that what you meant? 😀

Youtube is being ruined by adverts.

Oh I don’t know, it was rather funny 😀

That youtube clip of TKD – is that a high/good level of the sport?

It’s a scrappy bout between a couple of ex-world champions.

But it does show some of the worst examples of TKD – silly showy flapping of feet at head height that is not only impractical it’s not even effective. Why kick someone in the head when a kick to the knee or thigh is quicker, more effective and harder to see coming?

Because in TKD tournament sparring you’re not meant to kick below the belt or to the back of the body.
