What impressed me most about this Olympic Games is that men's taekwondo is too TM like a college league! Several classmates and I took part in two college students' Taekwondo competitions in Jinan (the second time, because of my age, I didn't take part, just watched). At that time, I thought that most people were wild, and if they met well-trained, they would definitely suffer big losses-but the Olympic Games proved that this style can also be used in international competitions. With the same technical style, people can play world-class games after several years of hard training; Amateur students, because the training intensity is too low, have not been significantly improved, or have given up training for various reasons! It seems that the main problem is the degree of effort!
Of course, if you want to have the last laugh, you must have very advanced technical guidance. A successful example of this is Wu Jingyu. Wu Jingyu is not only sharp in footwork, but also the best in defense among all the contestants. Coach Wu Jingyu is a practical martial artist, so we can see that Wu Jingyu and some other China Taekwondo athletes are obviously better than foreign wild athletes in the combination of attack and defense, and generally they can win by overwhelming advantage. Therefore, it is necessary to take China's advanced theory of Wushu as a guide.
Then we'll talk about technical things. The technical characteristics of this Olympic Games are quite different from previous competitions, which are mainly reflected in three points: the frequency of using various leg techniques completely subverts the previous experience; Strengthen close combat; Pay more attention to the change of leg technique and attack from a tricky angle. Friends who like to play games can adjust the training focus accordingly (of course, for reference only).
Just say the position of the hand. Most players still hang their arms very low, which can be thought to be because they have a good sense of timing and distance. They mainly use posture and footwork to avoid each other's attacks, and rarely rely on hand movements. On the other hand, it is also the main factor. I think this is a continuation of the old competition style. Maybe in the next Olympic Games, they will get rid of the standing frame with drooping hands. So beginners should not simply imitate. It is not advisable to ignore the block in the game, and it is more dangerous not to know how to protect your head in street fighting.
Finally, let's talk about the actual combat strength of Taekwondo that everyone cares about. Many people think that Taekwondo is not practical when they see that some leg techniques in normal training and some moves in competitive competitions are almost completely divorced from actual combat-this is a misunderstanding. Fancy leg technique is mainly used for physical exercise, and competitive games are mainly for scoring. They must not be equated with street fighting. Of course, the actual Taekwondo practitioners will not be limited to the technical framework of competitive competitions, but will extensively dabble in and absorb various good technologies to supplement their own martial arts system. It's like someone saying that it's impossible to learn only mathematics, but the reality is that mathematicians also learn some Chinese.
