If you're talking about the Anslow book then he's the founder of IAOMAS and regularly posts on their forum if you wanted to debate it with him.

The ratio of hand to kick techniques in TKD may be "8 to 1"... but the ratio of techniques EVER FUCKING USED by TKD fighters is more to the tune of 0 to infinite value.
"[Fighting for Points] is doubtless very pretty, and invariably draws applause, but preferences should always be given to blows that do some business, to good straight hits that do something toward finishing the fight.
A man who has carefully trained for brilliant tapping play, will find himself considerably out of it in case he is called upon to do any real work."

Everything I've ever read about Stuart Anslow suggests he's a very competent Martial Artist. I *believe* he's been cross training in grappling for some time also.

I haven't read the book, TKD Patterns just don't do it for me, but as far as I'm aware he's always been open about what he trains in and what he knows. I'm sure he'd actually answer any questions you have either here or on the IAOMAS forums."Listen to Iscariot you Vicchysoise ninja-fuckers!" - kohadril

Taekwon-do is often cited as being mainly a kicking art, but in actual fact is has many more hand techniques than kicks, at a guess I would say the hand techniques out number the leg techniques by around 8 to 1 (I once read there are over 2000 hand techniques, but I've never actually counted them to verify this).
Oh reeeaaalllly?
Lets see...
KICKS
hook
round
crescent
side
snap
twist
axe (thanks babo78)
all of the above kicks are also taught in a "jumping mode" and a "spinning" mode (except axe)
for example. jump(flying) side kick. Or spinning hook kick. or even jump spinning hook kick. The variations are endless, and are actively taught.
You can add jump, spinning, or both to almost any kick in TKD.
HAND
knife
ridge
jab (punch)
cross (punch)
spear
hammer fist
back fist
*note* jab and cross are two variations of a straight punch.
Variation- spinning pack fist
about 8 in all, hand techniques
I am not sure where he comes up with his thoughts on there being more punches than kicks. Can anyone quote the book for me?Last edited by oldman34; 1/18/2007 7:10am at .
