Taekwon-do
Theory
The following pages are dedicated to the theory of Taekwon-do.
We will be adding to it periodically.
Here are some more of those TKD
work tools for your toolbox.
Long fist (Ghin Joomuk)
This is very similar to an under
fist except that the main knuckles are stiffened and the thumb
is bent firmly, leaving some space between the forefinger and
the thumb. It is used to attack the temple or the Adam's
apple.
Open Fist (Pyon Joomuk)
It is created when the wrist is
bent upward and all except the main knuckles are bent towards
the palm. This is used to attack the nose, jaw and point of
the chin. It can be used in blocking in rare cases
- Quote from General Choi’s encyclopaedia.
A belt should only be wrapped around the waist once.
This signifies: - Ohdoikwan – Pursuit of one goal.Ilpyondanshim – To
serve
one master. Ilkyokpilsung – To gain victory in one blow.
