Wow, the art that focuses on kicking had the faster and more powerful kick, didn’t see that coming !
LMAO !!!
ya think… 
It was interesting that the TKD round kick was faster and more powerful than the MT one, since people seem to think the opposite.
Of course for the study to be valid you would need to have a greater selection of people, ranging in different weights and such.
Still, it’s just for fun.

when i first watched this I said the same thing. They should also base it out a number of kicks. Like 10. Highest one wins or something along those lines.

I think they probably did a few kicks and used the highest ones.
A good study does average and peak readings.
a tkd kick was more powerful than an mt one?
IMPOSSIBLE:eek:
They should have had Tong Po kick a concrete pillar, than you would see the power of Mooo Tie:D
And the plaster was falling down !!

the tkd one is hard to land.
the mt one is practiced in such a way as to actually land on a target.

Trouble maker !!
i was suprised when the capoeira guy got down so low for his kick… thats his most powerful? i figured it wouldve been the standing version of that kick… pleasant suprise tho… that is a decieving kick… you look like youre trying to get up, the opponent tries to come in on you and WHOMP… take the p i s s right out of em… i like it…
no suprise about the tkd guy, kicking is all they really do, so it better be good…
i was most suprised by the karateka… i expected more… he got a thumbs down… its a good kick in fights, like a leg jab to keep distance aswell as being devastating with power… muay thai cats do it all the time… but yeah i expected more from the karateka…
i also thought the muay thai guy would be closer to the tkd guy… i guess that time he spent hardening his body, sparring, actually fighhting, and using hands made him fall behind as the tkd cat just keeps kicking and kicking and only really kicking and not much else but kicking…:rolleyes: they like kicking you know…
kicking!!!
there used to be a time when tkd guys punched alot:eek: its true! its true!

they have to punch a lot, they never developed a system for getting punching power.
s’all legs man.
wicked wicked legs…well except for wtf, which is weak ass.
itf is more towards a martial art
That old Korean colonel had some white crane exposure didn’t he?
not that i know of its just shotokan with a little bit of taekyon added in
it would be interesting to see what korea would have evolved into had the japanese not interfered… like what does subak even look like???
well as ive heard it the koreans pretty much abandoned their native arts before the japanese even invaded i believe they thought martial arts were for the lower class basically
dont know much about subak but it may have been another korean invention where there is a mythical fabricated back history created to make it older than it really is:cool:

did they do that with tkd??? create false history??? like on a national level??? or just martial artists lying to whoever would listen…

Oh yeah they gave tkd a what was it? 6000 year history and claimed it came from the korean hwarang warriors lol. it was to distance itself from its japanese roots since korea and japan havent had the friendliest past with each other.
Pretty much every korean art today is an off shoot of a japanese/okinawan style with the exception of taekyyon and even that has a bit of a questionable history as well i believe . Despite that you’ll hear alot claim of learning from some chinese mater or having an anicent korean lineage. it’s all revisionist lies.
I wish i could find that hilarious korean martial arts timeline where it was mocking how distorted the countries historical teaching is. It had one funny date where the koreans traveled back in time and taught the ancient greeks pankration lolol
koreans built great wall. koreans invented chinese civilization.
