Old School Taekwondo

Hive, I will start off the Taekwondo portion of TMWU by sharing excerpts of Pro-TKD from the late 1990s. I believe that was the height of that era that spanned from the late 1980s to 2008. At that time power with execution was essential to not only score but to do damage. It was referred to as "Trembling Shock".

Taekwondo took notes from boxing and had some of the best footwork in combat sports. Today this is missing while the modern day sport definitely has a following but only has skills that can be used within the sport Taekwondo world. The skillsets of old school while not perfect and did lack hands it was extremely explosive, powerful, and multi dimensional within the realm of being used in other combat sports.

I will start sharing clips of a former professional league called Pro-TKD. It was on ESPN2 and Pay-Per-View. I will eventually share all the fights here for you personal evaluation. Also, I will start doing voiceover analysis of a few fights.

Last, this will lead to the eventual instruction of the TMWUs Taekwondo program which will focus on the explosive and dynamic kicks of Taekwondo as well as its footwork, drills, application, and better understanding of kicking distance and timing and how this can be used with MMA, K1 kickboxing, Muay Thai, Sanda, and other combat sports.
