Taekwondo Strikes
( 지르기 jireugi )
Taekwondo hand strikes are performed as a close distance alternative to kicks ( 차기 chagi ). They are executed in a number of ways - from standing, jumping, spinning and rushing forwards. Hand strikes make up fast combinations of strikes which can leave an opponent stunned and unable to defend himself most commonly in self defense ( 호신술 hosinsool ) applications. Muscles should only be tensed at the moment of imaginary impact in order to commute maximum power to any individual taekwondo technique.
