So if someone looks like they can fight, they can?

You got proof of that, dipshit?

That TKDer was throwing choreographed, slow kicks.

If you think slapping the foot of a kicker is going to stop his kick, you're only going to get your hand broken.

Bullshit.

It wasn't even a competition.

Come back when you can speak Korean and have seen the show that video is from.

BTW...they train in Olympic Taekwondo at the Shaolin Temple.

Their team sucks.

I'm not a monk.

I don't think I have the patience for it.

Looks like he's pulling an imaginary skull in to the knee.

I think it's reasonably close to this. Which we all know is not just a pretty pose.

Its still stylized. If you attempted to break it down it would appear to be a block as well as bringing something towards his knee. So I still say its a pretty pose. Unless anyone has used this block while attempting to guide someone's head to their knee.
