Kris The Coach

I breakdown Taekwondo Matches, I teach men how to become super-hero Fathers and I teach my mindset that got me to top 23 in the world in my division which I'm now transferring over into fatherhood and business.

My channel is a bit all over at the moment, but as I learn new thing I discuss them on this channel here.

I don't too many tutorial kind of videos because I think many people cover those already. I'm all about the mental chess game going on during the game.

Former USA Collegiate National Team Member (2009),
8x Philippine Taekwondo National Team Member (2012-2019) (Highest WT World Ranking Achieved: Rank 23 in 2013),
2019 AAU National Team member.

There is always a way to sharpen the skill and optimize.

    Hey man what’s your height in Feet/inches? I’m American in my measurements lolz That being said though don’t worry about weight categories and strategies first, first just worry about forging your weapons and scoring consistently. That’s a much better use of your time than worrying about weight divisions. You’re near the top of -63kg, just fight in -63kg. Also if you want personal video analysis I don’t do it for free anymore because I don’t have the time. If you’re interested in setting something up let me know on instagram @kris.the.coach

    This is good analysis on how to fight taller fighters. In old school days, you have to work with your range and not allow your taller opponent to kick first. As a smaller fighter back in the day, I had to move first always. This is something that small fighters will have to learn now a days especially that new school favors the taller fighter.

    Man, this was freaking awesome. Answered a bunch of questions that I both knew I had and didn’t know I had. Super helpful, and exactly what I was looking for. The one thing that I wonder is: I completely understand how as one masters their sense of distance management and timing, it enables them to have more powerful weapons. However, how does one master distance management and timing? Is it just through sheer repetitions of sparring, maybe film/fight analysis to form the neural pathways in the brain that contribute towards pattern recognition in that domain? What do you think?

  • @KrisTheCoach
    @KrisTheCoach6 ай бұрын

    Timing is more a function of reaction drills and knowing when to kick - just via reps, and oddly being present and aware when holding paddles or bags for someone else. Distance management mastery can be built by sparring and focusing on not letting them score by manipulating distance. Slide in, slide out, body leans etc. Try not to block Definitely no cancels or kicking. A great drill to combine those two is: Have 1 person have unlimited kicks and is down by 4 points. The other person who is ahead by 4 points can only kick a total of 5 times, including cancels.

    You could consider making a video going in specific detail about how to achieve success at each level of taekwondo sparring competition. I know for me at least I would soak that up, and I think (although technically do not know) other people would appreciate that too. Essentially, what is the difference between beginners, intermediates, advanced, elite, etc. common challenges at each level, and how to achieve success and surpass each level to the top.

    @@KrisTheCoach Feel free to take your time with the video, as you’re the one making it, and not me Either way, my main motivation in asking for this kind of video is that I believe there’s more to becoming good at something than just “hard work” and “dedication” although those are necessary as well. Deliberation in training and a genuine understanding of how to improve is essential, and this is where most people mess up in most domains, even far outside of taekwondo. Better training = better leverage = greater output per unit of input. A lot of people only think of adding more inputs (working harder), but that eventually has diminishing returns and is finite (once you’re working immensely hard). Understanding what defines each level of skill in taekwondo + how to improve at each level are similar in that they provide a meaningful way to think about progress, and knowing one helps give context to the other I think so. Anyway, I haven’t been doing taekwondo for a super long time, but I’m very competitive and I like to improve fast. Your other videos have helped me develop my taekwondo fight IQ pretty quickly, and I don’t see any other channels that provide in-depth analysis of fights like you do, so thanks for that 🙏 Sorry for the wall of text Lol
