Doo Ho Choi Taekwondo credentials?

[Chain Saw]

Did Choi ever compete in Taekwondo?

He rarely, if ever uses his TKD in his MMA fights.

As it stands right now his only real threat is his right hand. If he were to add spinning back kicks, side kicks, roundhouse kicks to the head and wheel kicks to his arsenal, he would be a lot more difficult to gameplan for.

If he already has those skills, why doesn't he put them to use?

He needs defense, his offense is okay looking for now

If he had more variety in his offense, he would also need less defense because his opponents would be more reluctant to engage.

Just cuz his Korean he HAS to learn TKD?

But the correct answer is he ONLY knows TKD

It lists TKD as one of the styles he trained in his wikipedia.

But he never uses it in his fights.

he was throwing solid leg kicks. needs to keep his hands up more than anything. dude gets hit, then puts his hands up, then puts them back down.

I heard Anthony Pettis has a K-1 background

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Hes Korean, TKD and Judo are prob standard and taught in elementary school to them.

Hes actually a pretty good striker
Leaves his chin up and needs defensive work and more angles with the feet.

Jeremy was very impressive btw

I’ve been wondering the same. He’s 99% a boxer. His leg kicks last night we’re surprisingly good. Apparently TKD was once his primary martial art, but you would never know that watching him fight.

Some people aren't comfortable with it and dispose of it. Aikido was once my primary art but I had a feeling i'd get fucked up if I tried it to protect myself.

He threw a lot of Kicks on Stephens. I has a flying kick KO in some other fight too. Alot of that flashy shit can put you in a bad place if you dont have success.
