Since I haven't posted a thread in a while:
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Actually they look a lot more balanced, in more ways than one. In a lot of today's tournaments some people just about fall over every time they kick.Oh yeah, the good old times when competition was still awesome...
Sorry, but I'll take today's Taekwondo over this anytime. IMO watching today's players is way more interesting and due to today's ruleset way more spectacular.
I think a lot of the awesomeness of old TKD fights is linked to personal memories. Nothing wrong with that, but compared to the athleticism of today's players like Servet Tazegül all of those players in that video look clumsy. ;-)

As a non-TKDer I much prefer this older style/ruleset of fighting, the modern Olympic stuff is just unwatchable drek IMO.
