1) PLEASE remember there is LOTS of different Taekwondo styles:
- ITF (Internation Taekwondo Federation)
- WTF (World Taekwondo Federation)
- GTF (Global Taekwondo Federation)
There is some similarities but LOTS of differences between the styles. WTF is more sparring focussed, ITF more self-defence and forms.

It "looks" nice but I promise you there is NO power in any of his strikes. And the "sounds effects" is actually (supposed to be) breath control and plays a big part in TKD (well in ITF anyway). His moves is more KARATE than Taekwondo.
ITF has full sign-wave to generate power, is self-defence focussed, and you learn one blow is enough to finish the fight!
