TKD vs. Kyokushin Karate

**Pagan** · Posted On: 1/05/2006 6:54pm

It's often debated about which country has the most practicle and effective martial arts. America has boxing and wrestling. China has kung fu. Japan has jujitsu (which can be divided into judo and karate). Korea has kuk sool won (which can be divided into TKD, Yudo, weapons, ect, ect).

With the recent abundance of video evidence, it can arguably be said that Korea has developed the most effective fighting systems in the world. I would like to introduce another video to further support the notion.

This is a Taekwondo female using North Korean TKD to defeat a Kyokushin Karate man. Kyokushin is a devestating style. I am in no way presenting KKK karate as an in-effective sytle. In fact KKK and Kuk Sool Won share the same techniques. The main difference is fluidity and motion. TKD uses smooth fast motion and is done in a more natural way rather than KKK's "robotic" movements.

It's hard to determine style superiority based on a handfull of videos, but this is a special case. Females being the weaker sex cannot defeat a man of larger or equal size unless they have superior fighitng skills.

Although this example is of TKD, it should be noted that TKD is the "heart beat" of Kuk Sool Won. KSW encorporates many styles into it's "korean JKD concepts" but TKD is the soul.

It should be known that you are the "acid reflux" of this forum and your threads incorporate "nothing new or interesting".

taking tkd i beleive that it is a very effective style, but i dont believe that korean arts are the most effective at all. That vid didnt prove much, there was no punching to the face, and the kicks didnt seem to do much damage to either opponent. Korean arts would be more effective if they used the same tecniuqes taught in sparring and fighting.

Pagan, if your brains were dynamite you couldn't blow your nose.

The "woman" in that clip is Paul Doumbia, it says so all the way through the video. Now, Paul could be a girl's name where he comes from or you could be one stupid twat. I know where may vote's going.
