Tae Kwon Do vs Muay Thai
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLla9TZL0bY
Pretty interesting fight. The Tae Kwon Do guy is the short dude. He has some crazy kicks. But in the end, the Muay Thai guy settled in and started controlling the fight. |

If they were in the same weight class, they must have been at the extremes of it.
Can't fault the little guy on his heart and determination in round one he really takes it to the taller fighter and makes him work which is saying something when the guys is a good 3/4 inches taller than you! Technically he wasn't so great, landing his back kicks and all, but it takes a lot of balls to be in a fight like that. Also his kick to the head flooring the taller guy is just plain fun to watch. |

That video intro on Yourtube is bollocks innit. It says Kyuk Too Ki is basically WTF Tei kwon do modified for kickboxing which is plain wrong right. That video doesn't include any Tai Kwon Do guys.

The little guy definetly has some TKD qualities in his kicking, his back kicks for example, but sometimes he seems a little MT too i.e. his stance and occaisionally he carries through with the kick MT style. Perhaps he's cross-trained.
But judging from the fact his kicking with his foot rather than his shin I would say he's more TKD than anything else. |

The second video in that series was a set up. The TKD dude throws a frikkin arm punch at the muay thai guy and he shrieks.  wtfI'd rather watch Serkhan Yilmaz fight a decision loss to Masato any day of the week. Genki Sudo KO'd the Korean Silver medalist with a spinning back fist. It wasn't total domination, but it was more interesting than these set up fights. |
