I'm a black belt (I quit last year though) and although I'm fast, agile and deliver lightning speed quick kicks in the dojo. I really made a fool out of myself at school. When I was fighting this guy I thought il try a spinning flying kick; in which I was completly out of time, slow and I tripped over myself and at least 20 people saw this.|||Because you weren't intelligent enough to apply it to real life. A simple roundhouse to his head would have been much more efficient. In a fight, you don't have time to do flashy moves, It takes an 8th of a second to perceive and action and respond depending on how good your reflexes are. This means there's no time for moves that take a second long to execute.
Besides, you probably went to some small mcdojo. Any real black belt would be wise enough to know this. No offense. Look for a better place and try again. people don't become MMA champions because their art doesn't work.|||From my experience, its because Tae kwon do people, place such an over emphasis on kicking, it makes the art impractical.
I have fought a few TKD fighters at different levels. I find them easy to read, and because they kick so much, they are often off balance (as you were when you fell over) and so are either easy to sweep over or they fall over by them selves. Plus they get knackered from throwing there legs around so much. Also, you generally need plenty of space to pull the moves off and if you try to do kicks at close range they are not as effective and you will tend to lose balance.
I would recommend trying a more rounded martial art or perhaps mma.
Source: 20 year ma experience|||there are many reasons things dont work in the real world.
Im guessing from your saying you were slow, out of time and tripped over yourself, that your failure may in part be down to you quitting last year.
As with all things, if you are not practicing them often, your skills and abilities will deteriorate over time.
Also a spinning flying kick is not really practical outside of a martial arts fight. In a real fight, stick to the simple effective moves. The more complicated you make the move the more chance it has of failure. Personally i would never spin in a street fight. Certainly never a spinning flying kick.
The dojo and the real world are two completely different things. Most martial traditional martial arts would need some modification for a "street fight". In a street fight it's all about what works, and in particular what works fast and hard. Minimum complication = best chance. Why spin and jump when surely a standing kick is going to be faster and have a greater chance of landing?
If you were trying to impress people with your kick (and i'm not saying you were) then i can understand why you chose that kick, but again i think you quitting last year may have played a large part in your failure to land the kick.
My advice, next time, keep it simple. but even then there is no such thing as a guranteed success....|||You are going to a MCDOJO.If you are a true blackbelt,you would know not to do a SPINNING Kick in a street fight!Any true blackbelt an martial arts masters know that in street fights you should use the most basic and practical techniques and save flashy kicks and moves for either competition or specific situations where they are the best techniques to use!|||well, because once your feet leave the ground, your power is drained, and you only can go in one direction, and will only stop, unless you run into something, or when gravity brings you down. when you spin, you turn your back to your opponent and consequently have to lose sight of him of a short period of time in which he can move away, or into you.
honestly, a jumping kick of any sort will only work on some one who isn't paying any attention, why wouldn't they just move to the side and let you fly by? a spinning kick you turn your back, so why wouldn't they just move into you to take advantage of that?
i sparred a guy, tried a flying double kick on me, i just stepped aside, and punched him in the ribs on his way by, it was rather easy to do, because of how slow the technique was, and how much movement the technique involved.
it's always the basics that work the best in a fight. unfortunately, since you weren't taught any of the above points, i would assume your teachers weren't teaching for practicality.|||Because most Tae Kwon Do sabumnim's teaching Olympic Sparing .
This is far away from street fighting .
According to spinning kick , to complicated in real fight . I strongly recommend simplicity .
I am Korean , was studding Martial Art in Korea , 4th dan , I teach some people -but I teach martial art not a modern Olympic Sparing misunderstanding .|||Every kick you use including "a spinning flying kick" can be used in a sucessful fight, it just depends on how you set it up and your speed...just make sure to fake him out...set him up.
Some people misunderstand Taekwondo for all of the "fancy" kicks, when really it's just getting you and your mind better equipped and prepared for more simple kicks and blows in a real fight.|||i think it down to individual, if you gonna kick someone in the head youv'e gotta be kicking faster than he can react to the movement,best to practise on drunks they easy targets. lol but seriously whilst i was on tour in iraq last year we had bit o trouble with crowds an one guy kept pushing obviously u dont shoot unarmed guys, an i dealt him a beauty of a back kick put him on his ***. so in general i go buy the rules that if you gonna kick dont go above the waist and dont ever go for any kinda jump techniques, but at the end of the day a kick is a devestating weapon if done correctly,but like the other guys have said mix it up, fill your arsenal with every type of skill you can get then go back and wup that guys ***. lol
p.s i also in uk and yeah WTF beats ITF anyday.|||because in a real fight when your adrenaline is pumping, and you convert to your natural reflexes. Those techniques look cool, and may be effective in TKD competitions but in the real world those high flying spinning techniques will get you either seriously hurt or killed.|||Look bro. I'm a 2nd degree black belt and TKD to me is just a base martial art, I'm still in it but I learned other martial arts as well. I practiced mma for a time, wrestling etc. But if you time it right and work hard the moves do work.|||You answered your own question. You were completely out of time, slow, and you tripped over yourself. If you practice the moves and execute them properly, basic and fancy moves will work.|||Well, everyone knows you are making stuff up. There is no such thing as a "spinning flying kick". And everyone knows that fighting is always the last resort - you probably deserved the humbling experience.|||"anyone who says high kicks don't work has never been kicked in the head" John Hackleman (Chuck Liddells trainer)
they do work, you just do them at the wrong time, or don't set them up properly. Tell Cung Le they don't work.|||Because the taekwondo taught in the US is a sport.
They don't bother to tell you that. And I think its safe to say that high kicks don't work in real life|||naa man it dos u hav to be redy and aware
and mayb faster and stronger
dis is y its called the martia art of selfdefence
dont u do sparring? sparrin is used for if ur in a fight|||cus usually the bloke that your fighting can bench 350 kilos...tae kwon do dosent work unless youve been studying for like 10 years...you need to hit the gym and practice with a punching bag or something to win fights before then|||Hate the player and not the game... "bro".|||because crouching tiger hidden dragon isnt real
