The Taekwondo dance, the most ridiculous things ever!

Now that summer is almost here I am a little slower with my writing but here is my latest blog article!

I have been checking many taekwondo demonstrations on YouTube and what really irritated me were those Taekwondo dance segments. Don’t take me wrong. I like to combine dance with Taekwondo demos but only if there is some really good dance choreographer behind it. A person that has a really strong background in dance and experience with making choreography.

What I have seen lately just makes me want to turn off my computer, because it just looks ridiculous to me. We are not dancers, we are martial artists and we should show that side in our demonstrations. We should show a high level of skill, discipline and respect. We should work with music of course but just as a support for our demonstrations.

We shouldn’t try to be something that we are not.

Yours,
