Classic knockout between Korea's Moon Dae-Sung and the Greek giant Alexandros Nikolaidis. The correct name for the kick in sport Taekwondo is "Spinning hook kick". Sorry, but no sound.

  • let the expert talk...lol

    his loss was sure even before the fight even though the korean guy, moon, had one broken leg. i myself, a member of a greek tkd team that won the trophy for the best team in greece and i trained with nikolaidis trainer ( he is pathetic, and thinks just cause he is korean that he knows tkd...) anyway, the fight was kinda unfair because moon is perfectly trained, 6 hours a day, with one day a week day-off, but nikolaidis is in the national team just cause his father is one of the greatest trainers here in greece, but he cant actually kick... i was there when it happend, with the national team, front row, (his head looked like its gonna fell of lol) . in the fight he did a big mistake by not leaning his head and body back and turning his shoulders while performing the dollyo chagi... so moon just whent with the routine batadollyochagi training rotine, and kicked the flava out of his mouth... i ll be at the 2012 olympics TKD WTF fighting for greece, i ll show u how its done..lol

    • expert? What a joke

      you are extreemly opionated man. Just because you were there doesn't mean you know it for sure.
      Perfectly trained man against someone who can't kick and makes big mistakes? and that fight is unfair? What a joke. The guy shouldn't have received the chance to fight to be really fair.

    • 2012 eh?

      thanks for the good insider info. now a disclaimer - i'm no national team player by any means, but my coaches have all been either US national team members, and one former olympic coach. So this is my two cents: i think it is not always such a sure issue with consistent backwards body angle/leaning on the dollyo chagi. Now dont get me wrong- Nikolaidis i think should have seen that hook coming from moon, even though his stance wasn't particularly staggered. but his open stance, defensive behavior and overall strategy (david vs. goliath?) should have indicated a counter was coming, and this would have been one of the times in which a more conservative lead-off, check, or trap would have been more prudent. but its always a judgment call - you either have to give full forward commitment with an off-the-line or not. if you intend to score with an off-the-line attack, a backwards leaning kick, open stance or not, will usually be crippled and won't score. As I said, its a judgment call, and Nik chose(or acted as such) to fully commit to an attempted point with his off-the-line, with forward momentum and body angle. as we all saw, it appeared to be the wrong choice. :)

    • nice said

      nikolaidis didnt expect this to happen because when he was training with moon in korea, moon wasnt allowed to use turning kicks to avoid injuries, but nikolaidis didnt knew this... and u know what happend then ;-)
      i myself, trained with a member of the 2008 korean olympic team 2008 called Han, who defeated moon in the korean nationals. we fought (it was kinda unfair cause he is 20 kilos heavier) and he knocked me out with a tichagi... do u think that if we fought in a real tournament i would attack him the same way again?
      thats why nikolaidis lost, because moon saw this fight comming and wanted nikolaidis to underestimate him...

    • Knocked out with a titchagi?

      It's been a few years, but titchagi is a kick to the stomach.

      Oh, and on the topic of the video, I thought it looked plain as daylight what he was setting up for there; the way he braces himself just seems to be characteristic of most people I've seen setting up for that type of kick.

  • I remember this

    The reaction from the crowd was unacceptable and emabarasing for Greece .The spectators ,greeks mostly ,were booed the Korean off because they couldnt accept his superiority.He was clever enough to embrace the greek athlete and celebrate with him ,running hand by hand around the stage holding both flags together.This somehow calmed the crowd.
    I guess the spirit of ancient Greece is not alive anymore .

  • Good Kick!

    Thanks for sharing this TKD video. Fighter in Red has good kicks. I studied ITF Taekwondo for 4 years. It is difficult but impressive.

  • what a KO!!!

    The tall guy falls of like a tree in front of the short korean dude. it is not about the strength of your body, but of your heart. nice one.

  • Nice KO

    After all , was a very good couter-kick by Moon, but I'm sure the reason for the greek's coach to run into the ring complainning to the referee , was because you can't fall after you complete your kick . Used to be very commun to see these type of kicks before , but not anymore. Anyway it'll be almost imposible to overturn a decision against a Korean on the final match!

  • Blue was not well trained

    He stayed in an open stance (both facing same direction) and that is a perfect setup for any back kick or back spinning kick. He got hit with the back spinning kick. If his stance was closed (right foot forward) then his round house would have collided with the Korean's kick is all. Well live and learn I sey.

  • The South Koreans

    dominate international judo, tae kwon do, hap ki do, ai ki do, and many types of karate.
    And before someone gets off by correcting me, I know karate is a Japanese art.

  • Correct name

    The correct name for the kick is "bandea dolyo chagi" and because he kinda jump it could be a "twio bandea dolyo chagi". but i admit my spelling could be off a little. its been a while since practiced Tae Kwon Do.

  • well well

    let's see, judging by what happen with this clip, i'm not sure how the fight went but from what the clip showed me was, A.the korean guy isn't all that good of a fighter, if he was he would've did it without getting kicked in the first place, plus he wouldn't have gotten kicked in the ass and fall, =D
    B. the greek fellow wasn't sure of himself so he hesitated and did a front round house kick to the ass area, he was aiming for a point score which is the mid part of the body. in the end
    the one with the most time and luck plus good aiming and good sence will come out winner,
    the korean guy did the kick, it was 40 60 40 skill 60 luck
    watch the clip agian and agian and you will understand that luck had a big part in it, few TKD will use that kick when being rushed upon. thanks bye

    • Know your place...

      I have no idea where you are getting this idea of Moon not being such a good TKD fighter. He's 2003, 2005, and 2006 Wolrd Champion with 31 undefeated matches in a row. I mean... this is a heavyweight fight, so you can't really expect speed and rapid turns that you'd seen in lighter weights. However, as far as the heavyweight class goes, he's currently the best in the world. My cousin is on the Korean national team right now; so I know how hard it is and how good of a TKD player you'd have to be to win a gold medal at Olympics or even to be on the national team. I often find some random ass people who just practice TKD for fun at local dojos making fun or criticizing World class TKD players. Being able to see Nikolaidis coming in with a tilted stance and a wide open left and returning a dollechagi on the head is not from LUCK... it's a skill that a guy like you can never fathom or perform. So, my bottom line is who the hell do you think you are to make such an arrogant claim? I highly suggest you to go back to your TKD dojo and learn your place.
