Best Taekwondo Knockouts
by Kephri Ra on Jun.17, 2009, under Kickboxing, Semi-Contact
Although Taekwondo competitions are generally semi-contact rather than full contact, people do often get carried away, or misjudge the distance slightly, and make a hard contact. Taekwondo is well known for its impressive jumping and spinning kicks, and other powerful and dramatic strikes; these kicks are impressive enough to watch in semi-contact competition but when they land one full the face on their opponent it makes for rivetting viewing. This compilation Taekwondo fight video features 4 minutes of the best accidental knockouts from semi-contact competitions:
Another Early Royce Gracie Fight
by Kephri Ra on Jun.10, 2009, under MMA
This time it is Royce Gracies vs. Gerard Gordeau in another classic old school fight from the early days of MMA cage fighting. Theres quite a lot of the pre fight build up included in this video compared to most of the video I post here, cos I normally liked to get straight to the action, and it doesn’t take Gracie long to finnish his opponent off with a choke, but it’s well worth watching, especially if you remember those early days yourself and the massive impact that BJJ had against everyones expectations. It really was fights like this one that transformed everyones perspective.
