In Taekwondo is used also the arms?

In Taekwondo is used also the arms?|||Yes. We practiced hand techniques almost 45 minutes in today%26#039;s class. This is rare, but it is done.





James|||Yes.|||Did you mean does taekwondo use arms during practice? Taekwondo generally does but how much you practice using your arms depends on where its taught. Also kicking in taekwondo is given more emphasis than other martial arts like karate or jujitsu. If there was a ratio between kicking and punching it would be something like 70% kicking and 30% punching during the time you practice. In real life that that ratio is slightly different, but obviously taekwondo is more about kicking, that%26#039;s why students tend to have bad defense against punches or up-close fighting.|||Yes real TKD has many hand strikes.


Knuckle fist, Knife hand, Ridge hand, palm, back fist to name a few.
