In taekwondo it seems that they use mostly feet. Is it possible for one to kick if they are jam? I mean when the oponents gets very very close with their hand out. Don't tell me that it is not possible to get close because I know that if you kick you will have to put down your leg after the kick. That is the time when someone can step in. If you don't put don't your leg you won't have much of a balance because you are on one leg. Also don't tell me you going to push them and then kick. How are you going to push someone if they have there hand out and getting very very close to you?

Also don't say you will back up and set up the distance. What if your oponent follow you back and use your backing energy against you?

How can you knee if I am so close to you with my hand up? What I mean is that I can hit you before you can knee. If you do knee or kick. It is very very easy for your oponent to get you off balance because they are close to you and they can just pull you while you kick. Then how are you going to do it now?

How is having their hand out going to stop you from pushing?
The only way they can stop you from pushing is when they grab you while they are closing in. If that happens then well, just stay close and wait for the ref to separate the both of you (if you are doing sports Taekwondo) if its a real fight (which would dumb to be so close) then give them a head butt? Lolz
Either way, the best bet would be to push and at the same time back off and do a switch kick. The push would keep the person off balanced and at that split second, the person would be vulnerable. Or if you are flexible enough, push the person to an arm's length away and give one to him/her/it to the head.
But from experience, its not a bad thing to just stick close when they close up. Good time to rest!! That is, if you are doing sport sparring...

Sounds like nobody professional has stepped up here. I'm a 2nd degree black belt in TKD, so although I'm not a pro, I might be able to shed some light here. When someone enters what you can call your zone, which is your arm length around you, the most natural thing to do is to fight back with hands. as to a kick, the only one that would really work would be a jump spin reverse side kick, or a jump spin reverse hook kick. basically, if my right leg is in front, I jump backwards, spin 180 degrees, and bring my back leg (left leg) into contact with the opponent, either in a straight line, or in a whipping motion. that's the only real way you can kick someone coming in...usually you try to kick them first, and keep them out though ;)

I could say Taekwondo however provided that you'll be able to be certain the trainer is truthfully well. Taekwondo's admire has decayed plenty in view that of deficient teachers that care simplest approximately the cash and supply you the belts with none attempt. Taekwondo is quality simplest while you be trained it correct. Now if u desire to lose a few weight taekwondo could be approach greater than kickboxing.

There are several ways to kick when your opponent is jamming you. One is to do what they call shortening your kicks whereby you don't get full extension and you don't get the hip extended into the kick-you keep it in. This is especially effective with side and round house kicks and can be used in conjuction with leaning back slightly to give you more extension but not so far that you fall off balance. While not as powerful it does have some power and also can keep them from getting any closer. Another is to move at an angle; either side stepping or literally towards and past them as they close on you and you will soon have the distance you need and they will have to turn and you can catch them turning on you-especially if they don't expect it. If you are a good kicker you can also land some good jump side kicks to the head or ribs as they are turning and you are moving away in either of these two directions. You can also kick to the back of the head with a hook kick and your thigh and leg as it comes up and across helps to protect you from their attack and jamming if you are in front of them or jump up and back and hit them with a lead leg side or round house kick as they move in and are reaching and probbing with their hand and arm.
My first strategy though would be to not let them jam me or dictate the fight. I would become the aggressor and keep my lead leg over theirs and hit them with my kicks. I would also throw multiple kick combinations and not just set my leg down after just doing one kick. Also there are some kick combinations that are better for this situation than others and I would confine myself to those combinations like a round house-side kick or hook kick-side kick-round house kick combination. This way the side kick would close the door behind me and make it more difficult for them to just move in and jam me and keep them out there for a third kick. You can also throw the lead leg side kick first hitting their arm or shoulder and keep them out there and then follow with other kicks off of that over there shoulder to their head and face or under their arm to their ribs and kidney. All these can also be very effective when used in conjunction with hand combinations as followups if they do get inside your kicks.

Well under all your conditions it seems quite.....impossible. lol
But really it can be done. I like to use a front thrust kick; you place it on the point/corner of their hip and just push forward. The hip kind of pops out and it is really hard for most people to resist it (especially if they don't expect it) because the hips really don't have any muscle that can be engage to resist it..
Also i would say that any martial artist who doesn't have a plan for this situation, like hitting with the hand, isn't really bright. So say you jam me and then i start punching you. Simple isn't it?

The answer is yes; my instructor was able to kick someone to the face while they were pressed up against him; takes flexibility. And when it comes to kneeing, your power is not coming from the swing of your leg but from your hips and torso (center line), so even when someone is up against you, if you have proper technique and power generation, you can penetrate with the knee (I've had this done to me).

yes. an under exagerated kick is called a knee. You can also stomp. kick shins. kick knees. If you do kick you can plan back, foward, side to side, or straight down. People like to throw punches after they kick to help attack, defend, and control distance.

yeah punching would be more practicle if the person want to fight up close, you can still kick in a clinch though, knee kicks and such to the legs are good and if you are strong you can take a knee out

its possible, but not practical, as they're coming in start throwing some body strikes to get there hands moving, and see what you can do to back them up.
