i do taekwon-do (GTF) we use punches

[liquidmeat]

you know what your talkin. Taekwondo Kiumsum in korean. It means humility. We dont use taekwondo outside the dojo. Only in self defense we will use a one hit run away. Something like an eye jab or sack works best. What your tought there is good for sport of the martial art.

[liquidmeat]

yup. But WTF is tottaly different and unique. Boxing muay thai kick boxing UFC and everything is all in a boxing ring or cage. But the TKD ring is just the matts and mostly kicking. But if your talking about real fighting here its a whole different thing. Dont mix WTF sparring with real fighting

[liquidmeat]

You havent thought outside the box yet. In WTF sparring punching is useless. They dont fight for self defence the same way they spar. In self defence its very rare to see a kick. In training we punch more than kick everyday. Cause every kick we have to do double punch no matter what lol except raising kick.

OK, I trained WTf for 6month and I was the only one who used punch:P

i'll admit it is a rarity,but when i participate in wtf tournaments i use a lot of punches on the inside.i'll usually start with a kick to get in,throw a few punches then another kick on the way out.but that's just me,i don't claim a federation.

Yeah I know, but ive never seen any wtf fighter use fists

[kidhadoken]

wtf rules allow punches to the body only.
