Do you learn any joint-locking techniques in TaeKwonDo?

Such as an armbar? Or is it strictly striking?|||not the arm bar like you would see in Ju Jitsu but you do learn stand up grappling. The art that tae kwon do uses is call hoo sun suel (sp?) Yes many forms of traditional TKD use it but I am highly doubtful that the sport version teaches it. |||yeah, the sport doesn%26#039;t use it really. Report Abuse
|||Traditionally there is a small number of joint locks in tkd, but b/c there is such a small number and tkd is a primarily kicking art most schools don%26#039;t teach them. If you want to learn tkd kicks, punches, etc and joint locks a good art would be hapkido. According to a lot of people, hapkido has most of the the things you would learn in tkd, but they add joint-locks, throws, joint-manipulation, and basely practical self-defense techniques.|||Unfortunatly many of the people who have previously answered must never have been exposed to anything other then sport or olympic style TKD. The answer to your question is that yes, old time TKD does have arm bars, wrist locks, etc. While the emphasis is not as heavy on them they are there.





However many schools do not teach them now days because the instructors were never shown or are totally sport oriented. But yes traditional TKD does have some grappling techniques.|||Traditional TKD is striking and blocking.


Many modern clubs will incorporate throws/pressure points/joint locks etc to help complement a students self defense.





If you are looking for a korean martial art that has joint locks, try looking at Hapkido. I studied Hapkido for around 6 months. It does have strikes, but focuses more on using pressure points, joint locks and throws.|||I worked with a guy who studied it and he said the only locks he learned was the forward and reverse wrist lock. But I%26#039;ll bet hidden within those Tae Kwon Do %26#039;hyeongs%26#039; that there are quite a few joint locks and throwing techniques. It%26#039;s a shame that Tae Kwon Do practitioners use so little of their art.|||Very rare if even taught at all. TKD is all about striking. Armbars and joint manipulations are almost non-existent and don%26#039;t fall into the realm of TKD. Look to other styles like Aikido, jujitsu, judo, hapkido for this material.|||Taekwondo is appx. 80% legs, 20% arms.





Suppliment your Takewondo with Hapkido, which is about 50/50 with locks, throws, manipulations, and breaks as well as some kicking.|||Never had in Tae Kwon Do , in Hap Ki Do yes , many of them .Tae Kwon Do is orientated on Olympic Sparring , there is no joint-locking techniques .|||TKD is all striking. If you want joint locks and grappling techniques you should find Hapkido, which is sometimes also taught in some TKD schools.|||i took TaeKwonDo for 3 years and you don%26#039;t learn any joint-locking techniques you learn stuff like striking and takedowns


My favorite part was board braking|||I learned a few joint-locks when I was in ITF taekwondo. Unfortunately, I forgot most of them, too (haven%26#039;t been in ITF tkd since I was 8)|||Not really no Did it for 5 years you learn some alsumeee hitting to the knees though Bad thing about TeaKwonDo you have to learn another lanugea|||Tae Kwon Do is all blocking and striking. If you want locks and holds, study judo, jiu jitsu, or Aikido.|||yup in taekwondo class i learned grappling and throws. of course it was traditional taekwondo. |||I teach some basic Hapkido in my TKD classes.|||yes indead but depends were you are learning and what type of tae kwon do
