You Can Use Basic Taekwondo Techniques For Self Defense

You can learn a few of the basic taekwondo techniques for defending yourself. This martial art self defense principle called hosinul uses punches, kicks and pressure point knowledge to teach you elf defense. The moves are designed to stop and cause injury to an assailant so you can away if being attacked.

All of the martial arts teach self defense as a basic principle. With taekwondo techniques you are taught to protect yourself from attacks that come from every angle, and armed attackers. With so many people looking for a reason to get fights caught on tape, knowing these techniques can keep you safe from these predators.

Taekwondo techniques include the use of pressure points. You will learn to apply pressure to certain area of the body that is extremely sensitive to pain or a reflex action. When these area are kicked or punched they could stop or severely injure attacker.

A few of the pressure points used in taekwondo techniques are the ears, eyes and nose. You will learn that it does not take very much pressure to stop someone when you need to. You will be taught to remember that your attacker does not care about your safety or your life, and you may need to do whatever it takes to get away safely.

The throat is one pressure point that you should never forget, you will learn this with taekwondo techniques. This pressure point is located at the base of the throat close to the chest, it is the hollow area and it is very sensitive. One punch or enough pressure to this area and your attacker will not be able to breathe, if the hit is hard enough you could rupture their trachea, in either case, they will go down and you can get away.

To be aware of your surrounding is the best self defense. I found out the hard way that you should never park next to a van, or if you return to your car and a van is next to you, get in on the passenger side of the car. I was coming out of a store and I had a lot of bags with me, I was starting to load the car when I turned back to the cart someone from the van grabbed me.

I was lucky that I knew of the basic taekwondo techniques. As soon as I was grabbed I punched the guy right in the hollow area of the throat. They quickly went down and as they did, I used my knee to hit them again. I got in my car as fast as I could and found security. Only knowing those few taekwondo techniques saved my life and they will save yours too if you ever need them.
