The 'aim' of your strike should definitely be behind the surface of what you're aiming at; that's the simple physics of force. However, please don't 'let it stick'. Pull hands back quickly after striking to protect yourself. If you leave your striking hand out for any longer than necessary, you are leaving yourself vulnerable to potential counter strikes. In addition, this mentality can quickly lead to throwing more of your body into a strike than is practical, which can leave you off balance.

@Unethrorpe - Sorry for the confusion... the "sticking" is only for the reprogramming process for training purposes. It's hard (especially for sports martial arts trainers) to get over the retraction reflex. By forcing yourself to "stick" your strike in training, it helps to overcome that reflex. But yes...I agree you wouldn't want to do this in a real street fight. Thanks for pointing this out.

Taekwondo is full contact martial art. Punches and kicks are not pulled back, we are taught to strike as powerfully as we can. The power comes from both proper execution of technique and speed. You've clearly never seen knockouts in Taekwondo matches by full force kicks and punches.

@LtActionCam Did you know that during Nam a small number of U.S soldiers were sent to be retrained by the ROK or the Korean Marines Elite because it was believed by some that the ROK had the best style for combat?

yeah i can see why you don't like punching, you're shit at it.

Your representation and generalization of striking martial arts seems not only vague but a bit ignorant. There are MANY arts where tournament style fighting is NOT point sparring. To name a few, Chinese San Da/San Shou/Lei Tai, Muay Thai, Kyokushin Karate. Promoting your own business or instruction is one thing, but these videos are just bad. I'm sorry.

"Like Taekwondo"...these guys have to check out the Korean Marines that train using Taekwondo and Hapkido. During the Vietnam war, the VC and NVA feared the Korean Marines because of their hand to hand capabilities.
