I dunno, it may have been control, I do karate, they normally do control attacks in my club, although, you wouldn’t have gotten up to a blue belt (let alone black) with your guard down low like the guy getting kicked has it…or letting it down away from your face while kicking…I dunno, seems like they’re black belts on one side, but a creamy colour on the other…never seen that before
Kinda looks to me like it might be some sort of demonstration for teaching/training purposes? Dunno anything about martial arts myself, though, but I suppose it’s possible.
Sorry for the lack of posts. It’s been a busy week at work. Next week should be back to normal, but please bear with me for the meantime!
I’m constantly vetting submissions, even though I’m not updating the blog. It’s much easier to flick through emails and star the good ones – but it’s much more time consuming downloading and uploading each one to WordPress! Rest assured that there are more pics to come. When I get a free minute…
As a student of Tang Soo Do, it looks like they’re One-Step Sparring to me. The “receiver” is supposed to stand still while the “attacker” practices moves. The only possible fail I see here is the attacker may have made contact, which is a no-no for One-Step. It could just be reeeaallly close which would show remarkable control and,distance-awareness… therefore, a Pass.
Since the attacker is in front stance with lowered arms, it does indeed look like prearranged exercises/demos (as mentioned, one step or similar). There are schools where advanced practitioners can and do come extremely close with good control. If this were a sparring match, it would look more like a fail (I’ve seen such pix, for real!) where you see the same idea.
thats not a fail. he obviously is gonna take that and respond with an epic smash and own that kicking noob. i mean look, the dude didn’t even move!!! you know your in a bad fight when that happens
This is obviously a demo pose. I’ve done these loads of times.
The man on the left is just standing – not attacking (he’d have an arm out punching, and you never really attack in forward stance).
The man on the right is performing a perfect side kick pose, helf for the camera.
For all the stupid comments on “He’s not protecting himself” – you don’t defend your groin on a side kick. You’ve be off balance. Even a front kick you only protect your upper body.
How do some posters feel they can call people in the picture stupid, when they don’t even know what they’re talking about themselves??
Hey, you have a great blog here! I’m definitely going to bookmark you! Thank you for your info.And this is **Do Karate** site/blog. It pretty much covers ###Karate## related stuff.
That guy has long toes…
They are undeveloped hands my child, undeveloped hands..
oh my god thats so funny. they really look like hands don’t they??
lol the other guy will punch his penis and testicles… lol
While he’s kicking, he should be protecting his balls.
smile and say, “I’m about to get punched in the nuts!”
Having taken taekwondo in the past, yes, the person kicking has his right arm uselessly behind him.
Ive done Brazillian Jujitsu, and I can agree with you.
Yes…but does it really matter? After that kick, the guy on the left isn’t going to be able to see past the stars for a good 30 secs…
Lol, but don’t forget the little birds that fly in circles!
Just train those little birds to fight for you, and you’re all set.

No, he’s preparing for a firefart. :O
Not sure which one is the fail… the one getting the facewash or the other guy about to lose his manhood.
wtf haha this made me smile for a sec LOL
I dunno about his manhood. Getting a kicked in the face tends to ruin most of your plans of attack.
that guy’s foot looks fucked up. it’s disgusting
Too many toes on it xD
Yes, because clearly five toes isn’t normal?
OPS
lol! …makes my day seem not as bad anymore.
=)
Will you post the pictures that i send to you?
Fingertoes, ewwww.
Umm, are we going to be looking at this get getting a foot to the face for another week? How about something new?

Is that the guy getting kicked has somehow failed to receive the shockwave
