Taekwondo is lame!

Dude Chimaev picked body locked him, picked him up, and walked him around while talking to Dana White who was outside the cage before dumping him and submitting him.

If he did that to me it wouldn’t be impressive but he did it to a world class fighter in the toughest promotion.

That’s pretty shocking.

ok yes a good opponent but he wasn't like top 5 #11 is decent though! The Dubai crowd got a real treat today all great fights... the old man, the 5 round performance, the finishes wow very nice!

I know karazy.  It's pretty effective.

That is tournament style, not like real fighting. Fists are included and we have specific training for punches and the different types. Obviously, feet are going to keep your opponent distant, they cannot just come flying at you with their hands without getting nailed in the stomach

hands are going to come into play one way or another... like getting circled or just eating the body kick... anyhow what punches do you learn can you name them

Imagine learning martial arts for 10 years and get shot in the end

ChampoftheBepoCamp

yes just a straight... or they might call it cross

or a cross when in runs through the middle etc...

anyhow how much punching do you learn... can we hear some combos you learned by the looks of it even in the world championship they had no punches like when they right next to each other

The problem with TKD is the rule set. Nothing ruins a martial art like rules.

In TKD case points only count if you cause visible “trembling shock” you have to move your opponent.

And since only body lunches are legal who the hell is going to waste time throwing hands?

Oh you can def reach someone up close kyokushin fighters are experts at it.

And that’s no pads bare knuckle

What does “er” mean did you watch the shorts? All knockouts from close range

Same base style as George St Pierre, Bas Rutten, Ramon Dekkers, Andy Hug, Robert Whittaker, Guy Metzger etc
