that was pretty cool!

Can that really be from 1962? It looks like it's taking place in the Kukkiwon auditorium (built in 1974) and the chest gear looks a little too modern.

Cool clip though - pre-head gear days!

Yeah I noticed that about the hogus as well. In '62 they were made from bamboo. Or so I hear.:uhohh:

 

[IcemanSK]

I agree though, excellent clip!

I'm thinking early 70's not 1962 but then again I could be wrong.

Yeah, seventies looks more appropriate. The 1962 in the graphic is referring to the first date that the club the commentators are talking about participated in a national event. The clip seems to be of a national high school championship.

Awsome clip, F2F! They are sparring with no headgear and their kicks are very fluid.

I thought the same thing, that’s why I didn’t write anything about the date, but I wasn’t positive so I didn’t bring it up. It looked a lot like pictures I was shown of competitions in the early-mid seventies. It’s still a pretty old clip and fun to watch.

Yeah, form what I understand the first ones were just modified kendo armour then they used vest with bamboo plates finally they settled on padded protectors similar to what we are familiar with today.

This is a good bit of information. Thanks. So they are just a couple of high school kids…not bad.

Yeah, the skill level is impressive for teenagers.

Here is another clip of a competition with out head gear.

Nice - I love that kick toward the end that changes up from an axe kick to something like a push kick to the face.

The jumping back kick (second fight?) might be Chung Kuk Hyun?

Nice to see without all the gear and padding
