A Warrior's Thougts on the Martial Arts

As promised, I'll be uploading some video over the course of the next days and weeks. Here's Valentin at the XXIV Open Polish Taekwondo Championships 2017 in Krakow. Valentin had three fight, laid out as follows: In semi-contact, the division was pretty small. In fact, it was just four competitors. Valentin lost the first fight and hence, went on to fight for bronze in the second fight. In light-contact, he lost the first fight. No clue how this could have happened. But see for yourself. Without further ado, here's the clips. Semi-Contact #1 Semi-Contact #2   Light-Contact #1 More to come, so stay tuned. So long, don't get hurt

As mentioned in an [earlier post] , I'll be posting video footage of our [trip to Opole] last year. Took me a while, but hey, better late than never, right? After going through [Chris' fights] , here's Valentin. Note that I won't be analysing anything here - I'll cover that in a later post, when I have time. For now, it's just the video footage. The only thing I will add here is that this was Valentin's debut in tournament fighting. Considering that and the fact that his opponent in the light contact bout is the vice-world-champion, I think Valentin did pretty well. Here's Valentin's first fight of that day, under Semi-Contact rules: And here we go with his light contact fight: Next up: Manuel. Watch out. So long, don't get hurt

So today's post just shows some highlights of last saturdays training. This time, it features Valentin, Anton and Dominik. Valentin and Anton are preparing for both semi- and light-contact fights in Poland next Sunday, hence there's a strong emphasis on kicks. Speaking of kicks, my next post is going to deal with fixing the high kick, so stay tuned. So long, don't get hurt
