Punching In Taekwondo

These punches have always existed in both Kukkiwon as well as Chang-Heon style Taekwondo. People often look at patterns or Olympic style sparring and assume that these strikes are not a part of TKD but this is a misconception.

Jack Dempsey (Boxing World Heavyweight Champion from 1919 - 1926) divided the skill of punching into two parts:

1. Setting your weight into motion

2. Relaying your weight to a desired point

Setting your weight into motion can be accomplished by combining at least two of the following four methods:

1. Falling forward

2. Springing forward

3. Torso rotation + weight shifting

4. Surging upward
