EXPLANATION OF TENETS

Needless to say, the success or failure of Taekwon-Do training depends

largely on how one observes and implements the tenets of Taekwon-Do which

should serve as a guide for all serious students of the art.

COURTESY (Ye Ui) Taekwon-Do students should attempt to practise the following elements

of courtesy to build up their noble character and to conduct the training in an

orderly manner as well.

1) To promote the spirit of mutual concessions 2) To be ashamed of one’s vices, contempting those of others 3) To be polite to one another 4) To encourage the sense of justice and humanity 5) To distinguish instructor from student, senior from junior, and elder

from younger

6) To behave oneself according to etiquette 7) To respect others’ possesions 8) To handle matters with fairness and sincerity 9) To refrain from giving or accepting any gift when in doubt

INTEGRITY (Yom Chi)

In Taekwon-Do, the word integrity assumes a looser definition than the

one usually presented in Webster's dictionary. One must be able to define right

and wrong, and have the conscience, if wrong, to feel guilt. Listed are some

examples, where integrity is lacking:

1. The instructor who misrepresents himself and his art by presenting

improper techniques to his students because of a lack of knowledge or

apathy.

2. The student who misrepresents himself by “fixing” breaking materials

before demonstrations.

3. The instructor who camouflages bad techniques with luxurious

training halls and false flattery to his students.

4. The student who requests rank from an instructor, or attempts to purchase it. 5. The student who gains rank for ego purposes or the feeling of power. 6. The instructor that teaches and promotes his art for materialistic gains. 7. The student whose actions do not live up the words. 8. The student who feels ashamed to seek opinions from his juniors.

PERSEVERANCE (/n Nae)

There is an old Oriental saying, “Patience leads to virtue or merit” ‘One

can make a peaceful home by being patient for 100 times.” Certainly,

happiness and prosperity are most likely brought to the patient person. To

achieve something, whether it is a higher degree or the perfection of a

technique, one must set his goal, then constantly persevere. Robert Bruce

learned his lesson of perseverance from the persistant efforts of a lowly spider.

It was this perseverence and tenacity that finally enabled him to free Scotland

in the fourteenth century. One of the most important secrets in becoming a

leader of Taekwon-Do is to overcome every difficulty by perseverance.

Confucious said; “one who is impatient in trivial matters can seldom

achieve success in matters of great importance.”

SELF-CONTROL (Guk Gi)

This tenet is extremely important inside and

outside the do jang, whether conducting oneself in

free sparring or in one’s personal affairs. A loss of self-

control in free sparring can prove disasterous to both

student and opponent. An inability to live and work

within one’s capability or sphere is also a lack of self-

control.

According to Lao-Tzu “the term of stronger is the

person who wins over oneself rather than someone

else.”

INDOMITABLE SPIRIT (8aekju/ Boo/gool)

“Here lie 300, who did their duty,” a simple

epitaph for one of the greatest acts of courage known

to mankind.

Although facing the superior forces of Xerxes,

Leonidas and his 300 Spartans at Thermopylae

showed the world the meaning of indomitable spirit. It

is shown when a courageous person and his prin-

ciples are pitted against overwhelming odds.

A serious student of Taekwon-Do will at all times

be modest and honest. If confronted with injustice, he

will deal with the belligerent without any fear or

hesitation at all, with indomitable spirit, regardless of

whosoever and however many the number may be.

Confucius declared, “it is an act of cowardice to

fail to speak out against injustice.”

As history has proven those who have pursued

their dreams earnestly and strenuously with indomit-

able spirit have never failed to achieved their goals.

“Pursue one’s own goal”

IMPORTANT:

Due to the distortion of distance apparent in photographs, the angle of

the feet in stances may appear slightly out of position. The student,

therefore, is encouraged to refer to the feet illustrations rather than the

photograph itself.

SPARRING (Matsogi)

Sparring is the physical application of attack and defence

techniques gained from pattern and fundamental exercise against

actual moving opponent or poopnents under various situations. Itis,

therefore, not only indispensable to promote the fighting spirit and

courage, to train the eyes, to read the opponents tactic as well as

maneuvers, to forge, toughen or develop the attacking and blocking

tools, to test his or her own skills and ability, to learn other

movements hardly to be gained from pattern or fundamental

exercise.

In fact, nearly all students are anxious to move into this phase of

instruction. Not only does training become more interesting but for

the first time the student begins to achieve a degree of satisfaction

through actual application of these techniques.

The danger lies in a student who has not built up a solid basic

foundation, developing bad habits that are extremely difficult to lose

when a student progresses. Therefore, the instructor should en-

courage the beginner to learn the necessary patterns and funda-

mental movements before participating in class sparring, especially

tournament.

General information

1. The sparring is started from а stance on line AB facing each other.

2. Blocking is begun with the left hand or left foot while attacking

with the right hand or foot. There are only few exceptions to the

above. A student should familiarize himself equally with both

sides.

3. All kicks throughout this volume are considered to be executed

with the ball of the foot for front snap kick, side front snap kick,

turning kick and twisting kick while the back heel is used for

reverse turning kick and pick shape kick.

SYSTEM OF SPARRING

(Matsogi Goosong)

Sparring is classified into prearranged, semi-free, free, foot

technique model and pre-arranged free sparring with the following

sub-catagories.

Types of Sparring The following table is to show the appropriate kind of sparring to

be taken by each grade holder, and this can be flexible according to

the progress of each individuals technique,

6th grade.... 2-step, 1-step 1st grade... free, self-defence

techniques

Free sparring 1:2 or more, foot technique sparring and model

sparring are practised among black belt holders.

Prearranged Sparring (Yaksok Matsogi)

It is practised as the name denotes under prearranged modes

with various assumptions, for example the number of steps to be

taken, the target to be attacked and the attacking tool to be used are

agreed upon beforehand between the players.

The various samples of sparring in this chapter merely serve as a

guide for the purpose of exercise, therefore, they are subject to

change according to the individual's choice or situation.

Basic Principles:

Both players (X and Y) stand ata full length distance apart of the

stance to be taken for attack, from the front half of the opponent's

foot, facing each other.

Bow to each other before and after each exercise. Gaze at the opponent's eyes at all times.

Attack and defence are conducted alternately between X and Y in

the most cases.

Block should be executed just before the attacking tool reaches

the vital spot with an appropriate blocking tool.

Dodge must be made to such a distance as to enable the counter-

attack to be conducted easily in one motion.

Counter-attack should be executed immediately after the last

defense.

Apply only those techniques learned from either pattern or

fundamental exercise.

Exercise right (attack and defense) and left (attack and defense)

equally,

10. Counter-attack should be limited to one time only.

А. THREE-STEP SPARRING (Sambo Matsogi)

This is the initial basic sparring exercise among beginners

usually from the ninth grade to the sixth grade.

This is an exercise for familiarization of correct attack and

defense techniques utilizing mainly the hand parts against middle

and high, the foot parts against low targets while stepping forward

and backward. There are two methods of practice: one way and two

way.

` №

One Way (Нап Chok) The attack is executed only while stepping forward, and the

defense while stepping backward.

Two Way (Yang Chok) Both the attack and defense are executed while stepping either

forward or backward.

Both of them can be practised either alone or with companion.

The following principles should be observed to perform a logical

attack and defense with correct stance and posture.

The exercise should be conducted against ап attacker whose

height is the same as the defender.

If the height is not the same, the stance must be adjusted, e.g. the

taller takes an L-stance while the shorter, a walking stance.

Exercise must be conducted alone if the height differs

considerably.

* Three-step sparring in this volume shows only middle attack and

defense except for low kick and rising block to avoid unneccesary

repetition.

A student should familiarize himself equally with high attack and

defense.

Direction Diagram (Bang Hyang Pyo)

The exercise is conducted under the assumption that the players

(X and Y) stand on line AB facing each other.

X and Y are required to stance at an appropriate distance apart

because it is necessary for both practitioners to take full, natural steps

to correctly perform the attack and block.

Walking Stance Middle Punch and Block

The attacker's foot should overlap with the front half or quarter of the

outer or inner part of the defnder’s foot in most cases,

Relative Foot Positions of Practitioners (X and Y)

In three step sparring the proper position of the foot is

considered to be the primary importance for the student to familiarize

himself with the correct stance as well as accurate attack and

defense

As shown below the position of attacker's foot varies according

to the stance to be used.

A. With walking stance

The attacker should place the foot on the outside of the

Ready posture defender’s foot for the first and third steps, and inside for the

second step

INCORRECT

The attacker's stances become too wide except the first

step as all steps are on the outside of the defender's foot

Ist step 2nd step 3rd step

INCORRECT

The attacker's stances become too narrow as all

steps are on the inside of the defender’s foot.

В. With L-stance

The attacker's foot should be placed on the inside of the defender’s foot

for the first and third steps and outside for the second step.

INCORRECT

Attackers’ stances are awkward except the first step as

the second step is on the inside of the defender’s foot.

INCORRECT

Attacker's stances become too wide because all steps

are on the outside of the defender’s foot.

С. With L-stance and walking stance

L-stance should always be on the inside of the defender’s

foot. and walking stance on the outside.

One full arm length method.

From my travel around the world, I have observed so many О [©

students who incorrectly measure the distance between partners for

three step sparring. The following illustrates two most common

incorrect methods of measurement and explains why they are of no

scientific basis, Remember this unscientific way of measurement

not only hinders the proper development of basic techniques and

good posture, but creaks bad habits which are difficult to correct as

the student progresses.

Correct punch with a walking stance

This illustrates how far the punch reaches through the opponent,

passing the actual point of focus.

The defender is forced to bend the elbow severely to intercept the

opponent's forearm.

Or the defender must lean the body backward in order to perform &

proper block.

Two full arms length method.

Correct punch with a walking stance.

The fist cannot reach the target.

The defender cannot intercept the opponent’s forearm even with s

straight arm.

The defender is forced to lean the body forward in order to perform a

correct block.

Starting point

The samples of three step sparring presented in

the foregoing pages are strictly based on the

principles. However,neither a low block nor rising

block can be performed correctly by the same

distance between X and Y, for the blocking tool

generally forms a vertical line with the knee

instead of the toes causing that much gap from

the knee to toes at the moment of block as shown

in the illustrations.

As a result, the distance must be adjusted to

perform a correct attack and defence.

INCORRECT 1. Bodies are leaning forward. 2. Knees of the front legt are

bent too much.

X and У stand facing each other at a distance of about

one and а half feet instead of a full length of stance to be

taken.

В. Two-Step Sparring (/bo Matsogi)

The main purpose of this sparring is to acquire a mixed technique of

hand and foot parts, the attacker therefore, must use both the hand and the

foot alternately.

It is, however, entirely optional wether the attacker uses the hand or the

foot first. As in the case of three step sparring there are two methods of

practise.

(1) The attack is executed only while stepping forward and the defense while

stepping backward

(2) Both the attack and the defense are executed while stepping either

forward or backward

a. The distance between X and Y is basically the same as that of

three step sparring, though it can be flexible.

b. X and Y take an attention stance on line AB facing each other.

С. One-Step Sparring (Ло Matsogi)

108

Vertually, this sparring is considered the most important one from the

point of view that the ultimate goal of Taekwon-Do in real combat is to win

the victory with just a single seasoned blow.

As a matter of fact it not only is exercised at all levels but also can be

nsed in actual situation. It is, therefore, advisable for the student to apply all

techniques exclusively including counter-attack, flying attack and defense,

and dodging attack with hand or foot while flying under various

assumptions.

The secret of this sparring is to deliver a competely accurate speedy and

decisive blow at the opponent’s vital spot at the right time with the right

weapon while defending against the opponent's attack effectively.

Semi-Free Sparring (Ban Jayu Matsogi) The distance between players, method of

attack and defense used, attacking and blocking

tools used and number of steps taken are com-

pletely optional. Only one series of attack and

defense motion is exchanged, however, and then

for a brief duration

Semi-free sparring is the last stage before the

student enters into a free sparring, though it can

be exercised at all levels as well.

TYPICAL PROCEDURE OF SEMI-FREE SPARRING

X and У take а parallel ready stance facing each other.

1. At the command of “semi-free sparring

ready”

X and Y take a right or left L-stance,

executing a forearm or knife-hand guarding

block, shouting ““Ya"’ as a ready signal.

2. At the command of ‘commence’:

X and Y exchange attack and defense

motions

3. At the command of “stop”

X and У return to a ready stance

respectively.

FREE SPARRING (Jayu Matsogi)

Free sparring is essentially an open combat with controlled

attacking and prohibition of attacking to certain vital spots.

In a free sparring there is no prearranged mode between the

players, and both participants are completely free to attack and

defend with all available means and methods with one exception:

The attacker must stop the attacking tool just before reaching the

vital spot.

Because Taekwon-Do is a lethal form of self-defence, the

sparring rules -unlike those of other competitive sports-count only

blows focused within two centimeters of a vital spot, instead of

counting the number of ineffective blows or the use of sheer brute

strength. In sparring focused blows, speed, power, balance, and

strong and accurate blocking, skillful dodging and attitude are taken

into consideration.

Since the attack and defense techniques depend on the actual

situation in free sparring, the student should refer to the illustrations

presented in the prearranged sparring section of this volume. Hereby,

| give the following hints instead of repeating the foregoing

illustrations so that the student can be familiarized himself with true

Taekwon-Do style sparring, through theoretical, powerful move-

ments that are aesthetically pleasing while avoiding “chicken

fighting”.

Chicken fighting is caused by those students who use only

stereotyped movement without any tactics and irregard for the

opponent's position at all.

Hints for Free Sparring

1, DEFENCE

Taekwon-Do should primarily be considered

an art of defense.

This is one reason so much importance is

attached to the student's defense techniques.

With a solid, secure fighting posture the stu-

dentis in a balanced position and offers only 4 |i

mited number of openings for a possible attack.

Some of these openings may be selected as a

means of luring an opponent into amovement that

will unable the student to counter attack effecti-

vely. Because of the rather narrow choice of

movements, an opponent is able to make an

attack against a secure fighting stance, he is

liable to move impulsively, thereby exposing hi

mself to a quick and deadly counter-attack.

As Sontzu, the famous Chinese strategist

said “victory can be one hundred percent quaran

tied only when knowing the capabilities of you and

your enemy”, in free sparring it is advisable to take

astep backwards immediately after the exchange

of bows at the beginning of a match instead of

rushing in with a headlong attack and then

watch and study an opponent's movements.

246

yer

It is certain that to win in battle 100 out of

100 times one must know the opponent as

well as oneself.

2 INSTANT ATTACK AND COUNTER-ATTACK

In Taekwon-Do a victory can be instantly decided by a single

focused blow and lost as easily by a telegraphed kick or punch. This

is the reason that students should position themselves in an

impenetrable guarding posture at all times and attack only when

there is a chance for a decisive blow. The student should constantly

concentrate on finding or creating an opening, and should not miss

the target of opportunity.

3. DECEPTION

As mentioned earlier it is quite difficult to penetrate a well

guarded defense position. The only way a student can score a

decisive blow against his opponent is by either breaking through the

defense with sheer force or by luring his opponent out of his

defensive posture by deception. A very large, strong, quick person

can often break through a moderately strong defense; but a smaller

person might have to rely on conducting a well-disciplined tactical

maneuver utilizing deception and flanking techniques when an

opponent-through over confidence or lack of experience-is lured out

of his free sparring position into a less defensive position, he suffers

both exposure and-through constant movement-exhaustion.

There are a myriad of techniques the student can use in drawing

out his opponent; e.g., a feint with a high punch or strike could

momentarily raise an opponent's guard long enough to score against

the floating ribs with a side or front kick. A jumping or shout may

induce the opponent to execute a premature move that the alert

student can counter.

A change in guarding posture or slight feint, calculated to give

the opponent impression the student is attempting to flank him, can

also induce the opponent to either prematurely attack or instinctively

drop his guard.

The opening the student has created may only last a spilt

second, therefore, it is of utmost importance that the student's attack

be carried out immediately.

247

248

4. SELECTION OF A PROPER TARGET

The student of Taekwon-Do has a number of weapons at his

disposal. Proper selection of the weapon for the proper target is of

primary importance. From closer range an upset punch, knee, elbow,

or even a throw would certainly be more effective than an extended

kick or punch.

To attack a minute target, such as eye or windpipe a knuckle fist

or forefinger would obviously be more effective than forefist or foot.

From a distance or in combat against multiple opponents flying

kicks, such as two direction kick, three direction kick, punching kick

or combination techniques would be most applicable. In other

words, if the distance requires the artillery, use a gun and nota pistol;

on the other hand, when the target is small and close enough for a

pistol, it would be foolish to use a canon.

5. DIRECTION OF ATTACK AND DEFENCE

One of the advantages of Taekwon-Do is that an attack or block

can be executed from and toward any direction. For example, side

piercing kick, side thrusting kick, pressing kick, side punch, side

strike with a knife-hand, back fist or side fist, and cross cut with a flat

fingertip are ideal for attacking an opponent to the side. A back fist,

back elbow, and back kick are useful tools against an opponent in the

rear. A turning kick, reverse turning kick, vertical kick, side front or

side back strike with a back fist are availeble for attacking an

Opponent at a diagonal line, and there are of course countless

choices for a frontal attack.

The same thing is applicable for a blocking technique. It is,

therefore, very important for a student to fainiliarize himself with

those techniques required for attacking and blocking toward any

direction even without facing the opponent in order to save time

while minimizing exposure.

6. TECHNIQUE EXPERIMENTATION:

Most students have a tendency to use a tested or favorite

technique only. Certainly in an actaual combat situation the best

technique applicable should be used.

In training, however, techniques that need polish and practice

should be used. If a student finds that his right side is his most

powerful, then he should attempt to use his left hand and foot. If his

front kick is weak, then again, this kick should be used until it is

perfected.

Many times a favorite technique is not feasible. A turning kick, for example, might be ineffective where a side

kick might be more suitable to penetrate a defense.

It is also important to practice a newly learned technique

immediately before it is forgotten. If an instructor demonstrates a

particular blocking or kicking combination, the student should

respect his instructor's knowledge enough to practice it in free

sparring. Last but not least, in matches an experienced fighter will

watch and pick out his opponent's favorite technique. If it is used

once too often, the opponent will anticipate it and counter-attack.

249

250

7. DEVELOPMENT OF TACTIC AND MANEUVER.

In open combat or match, the kind of technique to be used

depends entirely on the actual situation, therefore it would be

meaningless to practice free sparring against an opponent who

moves according to a fixed scenario. Moreover, it would be indeed

ridiculous if not impractical to set a sequence like the pattern of

Taekwon-Do as it is impossible to predict each movement an

opponent would use in the actual free sparring situation.

Anyway, the student should pay special attention not to adhere

to any fixed type of attacking combinations as far as free sparring is

concerned. Because such robot form of sparring usually ends up

with an adverse result when the opponent acts in a different way than

expected.

Unfortunately, due to restrictions imposed upon the players,

only a limited number of techniques may be exchanged briefly in free

sparring. It is, therefore, best for students to practice the patterns and

various samples of other sparrings illustrated in this volume to master

variety of techniques correctly.

Remember that the pattern represents a free sparring against

imaginary opponents while the sparring is the physical application of

techniques logically, against actual moving agressors. At this point,

the student must realize that the primary purpose of a free sparring is

to develop tactics, maneuver, fighting skill, courage, self-control,

extemporaneous sense and indomitable spirit.

The exploitation of techniques is the secondary.

8. DODGING TECHNIQUE

Dodging allows the attacker to use any technique freely at the

proper distance and increases target opportunity

The added advantage of this technique is not only to avoid

collision at a close distance, but to allow for a surprise attack while

flying away from the opponent.

With this technique alone Taekwon-Do can be clearly dif-

ferentiated from any other existing martial arts.

9. COUNTER ATTACK.

In free sparring, it is not always necessary to retreat from or block

an opponent's attack. For instance, when an opponent punches ог

kicks, a well timed counter attack would be more effective.

Remember, however, the efficiency of the counter attack is maxi-

mized only when a student attains a position of superiority in speed

and timing over the opponent

10. FLYING MULTIPLE TECHNIQUES.

A student of Taekwon-Do is encouraged to use as many

multiple techniques as possible such as consecutive, combination or

double kicks, punches or strikes. Since most students have the

tendency of bobbing or weaving while sparring, the second attack

would be effective in case the first misses the target.

This technique is principally used while flying, though occa-

sionally on the ground. A horizontal attack is used against a weaving

opponent whereas a vertical attack for bobbing.

11. POSITION CHANGE

This technique is accomplished by jump-

ing beyond the opponent, and the main

purpose is to create openings on the op-

ponent for a decisive attack, by forcing the

opponent to change direction.

This technique has an added advantage

of providing a surprise attack while flying,

and explains one of the reasons that flying

techniques are stressed in Taekwon-Do,

unlike other martial arts.

Position has been changed

A surprise attack while flying

256

Taekwon-Do is a martial art because it aims at a noble moral

rearmament, good health and a variety of techniques to defend

oneself and the weak by discriminating against political involvement

and commercialization to embody a just society. Unfortunately,

many instructors forgetting this true nature of Taekwon-Do, rely on

showmanship and over emphases free sparring to cover up their lack

of technique.

As a result, their students have a tendency toward arrogance

once winning a local or national championship without trying to

improve and expand their techniques.

Of course, free sparring is very important part of Taekwon-Do to

build courage, experience, sense of victory, ability of performance

and significance of participation and so on. However, it should not

be the only focus of the training. A student will see free sparring is not

a real combat and is a very small part of Taekwon-Do due to the

following limitations.

. Prohibition of attacking the vital spots.

. Limited number of attacking tools.

. Limited number of attacking areas. . Limited space for fighting. Limited number of attacking methods.

. Safety equipment.

. No full contact and so оп. Accordingly, in free sparring the player can have a chance to

exchange less than a dozen fundamental movements, compared to

the over 3.000 available.

This is the reason why | emphasize correct training of funda-

mental movements rather than on free sparring.

FOOT SPARRING (Ва/ Matsogi)

This is a symbolized form of sparring developed from the ancient

Korean art of “Taek Kyon” and “’Soo Bak Gi” which mainly relied on

the feet. The significance of this sparring is to promote the kicking

techniques required in Taekwon-Do.

Since both attack and defense are performed with the foot, hand

techniques are not allowed to be used in this particular sparring. Both

players are completely free to exchange attack and defense motions

with no prearranged mode except the initial movement of the

attacker, though for a brief duration as in the case of semi-free

sparring.

Ready posture is optional but both players, X and Y must shout

“Уа” аз a ready signal.

All the illustrations for sparring in this book visualize actual

combat, with the exeption that there are no attacks to the opponent's

back. This is because of the oriental and moral tradition of “warrior

sportsmanship”, that one must not attack in a towardly fashion from

behind. However, in actual combat attacks to the back can be made if

the situation warrants it.

SELF-DEFENCE TECHNIQUES

(Hosin Sul)

These techniques are not only the most interesting in Taekwon-

Do but also the most advanced. They are in every sense, for a

practical self-defense. These techniques are the logical application

of various motions acquired from patterns, sparring, and funda-

mental movements to be used against a sudden attack by an armed or

unarmed opponent.

The defender must know how to make use of his or her

opponent's momentum and force, while utilizing his or her dynamic

and reflexive actions against momentarily undefended target.

Certainly, these self-defense techniques can only be effective if

the student take the time to constantly train with them under realistic

conditions.

How To Release From a Grab (Jappyosul Tae)

It is unlikely that a Taekwon-Do black belt will ever be grabved

by an assailant. Below is illustrated a technique, however, that can be

effective.

Releasing is performed in three different ways: either by a direct

attack to a vulnerable or vital spot, breaking the joint of the attacking

hand or arm, or by a logical releasing motion which is usually

accompained by a counter attack.

Since this technique might be used against a physically song

opponent, the defender should not attempt to pull but rather to push

the grabbing hand or foot at the same time coordinating the body to

make use of the opponent's momentum and the instinctive pulling

motion of the opponent with rare exceptions.

DEFENSE AGAINST А SUDDEN ATTACK (Dae Boori Gong Gyok)

An unexpected attack can come at any time, any place. There are

numerous accounts in the newspapers of innocent victims being

attacked in broad day light on city streets and even in the privacy of

their own homes.

An attacker will usually have the initial advantage of surprise. A

well trained student of Taekwon-Do, however, who has developed

an instinctive conditioned reflex should stand of fairly good chance

of blocking or at least deflecting a blow.

THROWING AND FALLING TECHNIQUES

(Dunjigi wa Torojigi)

The emphasis in falling is naturally, placed on learning to fall

without getting hurt and recovering as quickly as possible.

Falling is practiced from a standing, sitting and lying down

position. In both cases there are certain basic rules that must be

followed:

1. Relax the body.

2. Fall to the side rather than the flat of the back. The falling

should be done with a rolling motion distributing the weight on the

buttocks, side and shoulder.

3. Absorb the shock by striking the ground or floor with the

palm of the hand.

4. Tuck the chin into the chest to avoid the head striking the

ground or floor.

5. Raise the legs.

A throwing technique in Taekwon-Do is only used when you do

not wish to seriously injure an opponent, to occasionally counter an

opponent's counter-attack or if an opponent is blocked in a way that

itis impossible for him to utilize any of his attacking tools. As soon as

a throwing technique is used, step back to avoid a counter-attack

motion.

DEFENSE AGAINST AN ARMED OPPONENT (Dae Moogi)

Defense against an armed opponent requires the ultimate in

technique. At this point it is necessary to caution students that

though someone who has fully developed speed, balance, power,

tactics and self-confidence may possibly defend against a knife,

club, bayonet or staff it requires the highest degree of expertise to

defend against a gun.

If itis necessary for the defender to take more than two steps to

reach his opponent, especially if he is an observant gunman, then the

technique will fail.

The following points must be borne in mind when defending

against an armed opponent.

1. If a dodge is employed, move away from the direction the

weapon is facing, except in the case of straight ctab or thrust, in order

to avoid being stabbed or cut.

2. Gauge your distance precisely. Dodging too far from your

Opponent may make it impossible to execute a counter-attack in

time. Against a bayonet or staff, lengthen your strike during the

dodge so that opponent will find it necessary to take an extra step for

a combination movement.

Compensate for this increased distance by positioning yourself

for an instant spring to cover the extra step in a single bound.

3. Blocking should be executed against the attacking arm or

hand, rather than the weapon itself, when defending against a knife

or club.

Е. Defense Against а Pistol (Dae Gwon Chong)

Any sparring technique can be applied directly against a pistol,

however, one must be realistic. Only at a very close range, or when the

opponent is pulling the pistol from concealment, or sighting the

weapon can the defense techniques illustrated on the preceding pages

be used.

A deception or feint can be perhaps a defender’s best defense but

the defender must be very quick while executing the manoeuver.
