Flying Tiger Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 My experience is that most TKD schools do not teach how to use the hands very well. So get in real close and bash them repeatedly with your meathooks. otherwise, just keep on your toes and don't stand still long enough for them to hit you. The greatest clarity is profound silence.

isshinryu5toforever Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The only problem with punching in TKD is you basically have to knock them out with a body punch to score any points.

tufrthanu Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Once again I have to correct you Isshinryu. I agree in olympic tkd you would have to knock someone out with a body punch to use them effectively...and that wouldnt happen due to the hogu. But in traditional tkd with point fighting you still get counted for making hand strikes to the head. My old dojang did a round robin tournament one night and using the 5 point win system I beat about 4 of the 6 competitors using almost solely hand strikes...with just an occasional kick thrown in to keep them off balance.
