| I did not know that we were suppose to use the instep when performing a roundhouse kick in competition. In class, we are always thought to kick with the ball of the foot. I do use the instep-roundhouse in competition because the technique is alot faster than having to pull the toes back and chambering the roundhouse kick. |

mastertae,
I've been enjoying your posts, and insight to the Korean arts. 
If you get the chance, post some information on yourself over in the Introduction section.  |

Yeah, I'd agree with mastertae. Most strikes in TKD should be aimed at pressure points, or joints. But this isn't really done in competetion sparring, well, maybe the solar plexus. It is right under that target on the chest gear.
So the breakdown as I see it is: 55-60% kicks, 45-40% hand techs which would include strikes, throws and joint locks. Sweeps fit in there somewhere, part hands and part feet I guess. |

Delivery of tech's: We're taught 8 "basic" strikes (striking surfaces actually) with the hand by orange belt (4-5 months). Fore fist punch, back fist, hammer fist, knife hand, ridge hand, spear, palm, arc strike (open hand, keep fingers together except thumb as if you were to pick up a glass, strike to the throat). Add variations to the tech's ie jab vs hook punch, inside, outside, spin, palm up, palm down,etc and other oddball strikes (eagle claw, vulcan eye gouge-for lack of a better term) and the number goes up quickly.
As for kicks most of the basics can be done spinning so: front, round, side, back, inside crescent, outside crescent, ax, hook, spin heel, eh... you can all think of more I'm sure.
Add knees, elbows, your head, and any unconventional way to strike with a part of your body add you've got so many options it will make your head spin! :dead:

I was reading the posts regarding the various ways to throw a roundhouse and I have been trained to throw with instep (inner ridge of foot) in sparring and using the ball of foot when it comes to breaks or hitting target/heavy bag.
True niel0092 ... the options are endless and each school/club instructs differently.

Wheeeeew! Gladly Grandmaster. 
Now, I've seen in some of the other threads that some TKDs do teach at least a limited amount of grappling.
For those that do, how much focus is there, at what point did you learn them, and what are a couple examples?  |

Anybody here have an answer for this? I'm genuinely interested in finding out more about other Korean systems.  |
