Tonga flag bearer Pita Taufatofua teaches TODAY anchors taekwondo
Pita Taufatofua, who stole the show at the Rio opening ceremony as the well-oiled flag bearer for Tonga, is on the beach in Rio to give TODAY’s Natalie Morales, Billy Bush and Al Roker a lesson in his sport, taekwondo. He shows them how to punch and advises them to yell as loud as they can when they do: “It gives you extra energy and scares the other person as well.” (Run time: 2:21)
