Question

does tae kwon do have any techniques like if you are getting heist and you need to throw someone off your back or joint lock em or defend yourself in a prison,
i know hapkido and jujutsu is good for that

but tae kwon do, does ut have any good techniques?
or any handstriking and blocks?

Answer 1

yes it has many. it teaches hip throws like you see in judo. and has joint locks and such. these techniques are called ho sen suel(spelling) they are very effective against the common thug however you have to work up to be a red belt in the ITF unless you have a teacher who is willing to teach it to you sooner to defend yourself

Answer 2

Hapkido, like TKD is a Korean martial art and so some schools teach both arts. The one for kicking, and striking or punching to a lesser extent, the other for use as self defense for joint locks, applying and countering holds, and grappling with your opponent.

Answer 3

I am a grandmaster in a tae kwon do center in chino hills, California. and yes it has a lot of techniques that you can defend yourself

Answer 4

Yes TKD does have locks redirects and throws .
The philosophy or underlying Principal though is to punish the attack.
By my brown belt I had learned several very good street defences.

Answer 5

As a black belt of WTF Tae Kwon Do it has some good blocks and most schools integrate hapkido because of the Korean base. and They have there own set of hand techniques.

Answer 6

Yes TKD has many techniques for any situation.
When I was training in TKD, we spent a lot of time on take downs and take down defense.

Its not the style... its the fighter and teacher.
