what does taekwondo-street self defence -aikido mean?

Question

what does that mean and do all martial arts do pressure points as we seem to do

Answer 1

taekwondo is a self defense art by nature. It is designed so that what the attacker is trying to do to you happens to them. Pressure points are common in all arts but its mainly a part of Kungfu more specifically poison finger and is Incorporated into many other arts because of its success. Judo and aikido have more to do with throws balance and using your size and weight properly while using theirs against them. Any time three primary arts are combined it is called ninjitzu and is accompanied by the title of ninja once all 3 arts are mastered. Good luck

Answer 2

The techniques that're based in Tae Kwon Do will be broken down for simplified usage in a street fight.

the Aikido is added in there for a morer mixed martial arts since it the Aikido incorporates throwing and ground fighting techniques.

It's simply a combination class, learning TKD in one part of the class and teaching Aikido in another and combining the two disciplines to give the individual students a more rounded defense technique

Answer 3

It means your teacher is trying very hard at marketing his school. If he claims to be teaching tkd for "street self-defence" then either he is incorporating boxing and other arts into the usual point sparring "don't kick the supporting leg or punch the face" tkd routine, or he is bsing you. Pressure points are not effective in a real sparring situation SJM yes (small joint manipulation) but pressure points cannot uniformly have the same effectiveness on anyone and in actual full contact situations (not to be confused with striking vulnerable areas like the eyes, knees, face, jaw, balls etc.) as they do when you have no adrenalin running and your teacher just says "feel this" in class.

I would serioulsy look at other schools and try to spar with someone your experience level outside your school to see if your stuff works. If not, then you know why, the problem isn't you its more than likely what you are learning isn't effective.

Answer 4

I dont really understand the first part of your question, I know that most martial arts are self defence related.... I dont know many that teach you to "stalk". Preassure points for me work better in groups of strikes... not DEMON TOUCH or dim mak or some other BS that they try to say hurts you.... the Chi punch that never touches you but makes you faint!! halloween stuff like that doesnt work. BUT there are nerve clusters that if struck, can cause serious pain or temp numbness. We learn features on the neck and chest and arms to strike... especialy on the ground with elbows. this is in my TKD and Hapkido classes... I often find it wierd to hear of TKD schools with Aikido.... seeing as one is Korean and one is Japanese and THEY DO NOT get along.

Answer 5

I know the meaning of Aikido. Aikido is actually three words..
AI - Harmonize
KI - Energy, spirit
DO - the way.

Harmonizing an opponents energy or spirit is the way. To better explain, in Aikido instead of resisting someones actions or strength you utilize them and in a way take advantage of their actions, finding their mistakes like committing too much of their balance or gaining a lock to subdue them. Aikido is mainly defensive, but you get your opponent in a position to where you can hurt them if you chose to, but you dont.

Answer 6

I never heard of it, it sounds like someone invented it recently.

We learn about pressure points but they are not a major part of our art.
Pressure point are dangerous for beginners, in a real life situation it is difficult to pinpoint a small spot.

Answer 7

a) It means that the instructor wants to be all things & is probably just a street thug who shouldn't be teaching.
b) Most if not all.
