ROK #7: Taekwon-do

In the homeland of taekwon-do, we were fascinated by the excellent skills and the perfection by the Korean fighters.
By coincidence, we found a 1½-hour demonstration in front of one of the palaces.

Jumping this high must have been difficult for even Michael Jordan:


This fighter has just walked several meters blindfolded (!) and is kicking of an apple from the tip of a knife!


This kicking technique speaks for itself:


The stills also show the immaculate technique of the Korean fighters (click to enlarge):





On the first photo you can see the whole apple before the kick and on the second photo it is possible to see the pieces of the apple scattered in the air, the sharpe knife and the board that was to be broken in the same kick.
