Movie Reviews of Beginner Taekwondo
Movie Review: WTF forms, not detailed, but worth it for the inspiration
Summary: 4 Stars
Those who buy this DVD should be aware of the title: Beginner Taekwondo. Do not expect it to cover advanced techniques!
With regard to actually assisting a beginner I have actually found this to be somewhat helpful but not nearly detailed enough. If by now you are on a remote island, far away from instructors, you may find this DVD very helpful but with the popularity of martial arts in the US, you'd be far better off with assistance from personal training. Note that the spelling is Taekwondo. This indicates that this is of the WTF version. The facility where I practice uses mostly ITF techniques (we spell it Tae Kwon Do). You will need to learn the proper techniques as your own instructor teaches. Our stances are different and some hand techniques are different (and we use many more hand techniques). One-steps and basic sparring rules are also different.
I was dissapointed that the actual tournament sparring footage was so short.
Mr. Kim is impressive and inspiring. His kicks are lightning fast and impressive. His abilities encouraged me to improve my own kicking. I loved seeing his partner abused during many of the demonstrations. The DVD is worth it just for that inspiration alone.
