List Of Taekwondo Techniques
Taekwondo techniques vary between most schools and level and not all techniques are included. Techniques often combined into shorter set ( Hyeong), but these vary from school to school. Hand attacks Taekwondo hand strikes are performed as a close distance alternative to kicks. 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. Taekwondo hand strikes can be separated into two distinct styles: * Closed hand strikes () * Open hand techniques () Various surfaces of the hand may be engaged as the striking surface depending on which area of the opponents body which is being targeted.

Taegeuk (taekwondo)
In taekwondo, taegeuk is a set of ''Pumsae'' (also known as ''Poomsae'' or ''Poomse''), or defined pattern of defense-and-attack forms used to teach taekwondo. Between 1967 and 1971, Kukkiwon-style taekwondo made use of an older set of forms called the '' palgwae'' forms developed by the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA) with input from some of the original nine ''kwans'' of taekwondo. By 1970, additional kwans had joined the KTA so the newer set of taegeuk forms was developed to better represent inputs from all the participating kwans. By 1971, the palgwae forms were considered to be deprecated in favor of the newer taegeuk forms, though some schools still teach palgwae forms as well. All World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Pumsae competitions use the taegeuk pumsae, along with 8 of the black belt Pumsae. To gain a black belt, a student generally must know all eight Taegeuk Poomsae and also be able to perform all of them consecutively with no breaks in between. Each Taegeuk f ...
