He was surprised, caught totally off guard. He lat flared her, arms down, thinking he could scare her, and I stand corrected, looks like he got kicked in the stomach. And yeah, caught off guard, he would have been easily thrown, just as he was easily kicked with his arms/guard totally down. You'd be foolish to think the outcome would be the same if the element of surprise was removed, and he had his guard up and realized her potential from the beginning.She is beating a guy which is many times bigger than him witha single kick.
He wasnt kicked in the balls and it takes training to accurately hit a guy like that.
And easily thrown? really?
Average sport TKD practitioner as in they compete? ill go for the TKD practitioner after year 2 to leave unscathed against an untrained individual.
BJJ train to beat BJJ, it doesnt deals with spazzy flailing individuals, and while its pretty unlikely that a spazzy individual will beat a trained guy, it still carries a high risk of injury that striking arts dont have.
I had one guy bit me, as i tried to stop him, i threw him but the fucking bite was nasty it took 2 weeks to go off and it drew blood.
One friend of mine from the judo team also, had one guy poke him in the eye, he simply reached to his face and dug his thumb, of course it didnt stopped my friend from beating him silly, but he had a subconjuctival hemorraghe.
Even i the BJJ beats TKD 19 out of 20, the TKD guy is better suited at dealing with an untrained stranger while leaving unscathed.
There is something about grappling that panics individuals and since they dont know you will stop after restraining them, they can go wild as fuck. So unless you are a cop, learn how to KTFO an individual as fast as possible if you want self-defense.
You got bit and your friend got poked in the eye. You don't say. You mean in a fight anything is possible? But hey, of course, nothing random can happen to a TKD guy, right? In your fucked world, untrained opponents are fucking fat idiots that are somehow surprisingly good at resisting grapplers by flailing, biting and eye gouging, but are completely clueless dimwits when striking. Sorry, not how things work.I can produce fight vids of grapplers NOT getting bit/gouged/testicled for every one of your experiences where you got injured.
And speaking of vids, I can't find a single real street fight vid of TKD. I wonder why? Maybe its because its so fucking effective the fight ends before any camera can record it.
I don't believe BJJ is some magic street fight pill. But just because BJJ is imperfect, doesn't automatically elevate TKD to a superior SD art.
