"Serious" Analysis
Judging by how easily the other guy picked him up with nearly no leverage, there was obviously a significant weight class difference in the grappling. So the result when it got to the ground isn't surprising. Although a better grappler would've done better.
2nd, the TKD guy started off with a nice display of agility. In a larger ring, he probably could've played keepaway a lot better.
His inaction after that first kick puzzles me. Was he confused because it did nothing? Then he was very inexperienced. Was he already worn out from previous rounds? Then he needed simple endurance training, which doesn't reflect on the art.
He didn't become a rag doll after the takedown, which means he had SOME grappling training. That's not TKD. Once it goes on the ground, TKD is no longer the art in question. Then it's comparing the grappling art he used to supplement his TKD.
The dude was pretty fast and had some ups. I seriously wonder why he didn't just jump and stomp the other guy on the back or back of the head when he bull rushed with his head leading. He seemed to have some serious ups.
That's one thing people ignore about arts like TKD, especially against boxers and grapplers...the vertical element.
You see, TKD practitioners rapidly learn that some of the kicks that worked so well in TKD sparring don't work so well against boxers and grapplers.
However, some of the old tricks still work:
Side kicks are still great at controlling the distance...your legs are longer than his arms.
But some kicks that aren't as popular in the TKD sparring work great against grapplers and boxers...front snap kicks, push kicks, axe kicks, etc. Against grapplers, you can't throw kicks high b/c they stay low. And they might also try to grab your leg which would be bad news. Against boxers, their guard protects them high and middle. So BREAK the damn TKD rules and pop their legs Thai boxing style. Get them crouching and low, and pop an axe kick on the head, follow with kicks that use hip rotation to pop the side of the head. A lot of TKD's problems in mixed fighting and street fights is the unwillingness or inability of its practitioners to adapt to more flexible rules. Guess what, in a street fight, a shot to the nuts is LEGAL.
Oh well. Sucks to be him.Comment
