Strikes

Striking techniques involve hand and palm techniques. Some are circular and some are direct strikes.

Below are the different anatomy used in taekkyon strikes.

• head butt
• fist
• palm
• fingers
• elbow
• wrist
• shoulder
• and other parts of the hands

Stikes are applied according to a rhythm which is usually a 3 beat, but may also be a 1, 2, 3, or 4 beat.

The hands are usually continually moving, in a circular fashion, or weaving, in readiness to parry or strike. It is from the continual movement of the hands that they are easily applied.
