This page shows the parts of the body a Taekwondo student has to condition for self defence.
Examples of the attacking tools that need conditioning are the fore fist, back fist, knife hand, reverse knife-hand, elbow, ball of the foot, back heel, foot sword, and outer forearm.
These body parts can be conditioned by using focus pads, punch bags and training partners before using advanced methods such as makiwawas.
This kind of training requires patience and a student must take care performing these drills and eventually your body will adapt to meet the strain placed on it and you will be better prepared to defend yourself should the situation ever arise.
Martial Arts techniques require skill, control, fitness and professional supervision and should only be practiced in good health and in the correct training environment.
