I have studdied TKD for about 20 years. The main focus of my training has been sport oriented, but I have also spent significant time training self defense applications of the art. I have also studied Kickboxing, Boxing, Aikido, and Morden Arnis. So, when I am the student or I instruct other people I always find myself asking this question
How would this technique work in real life against an attacker who will not easily comply with whatever I want to do?
So I ask the group. When you have a group of student training in self defense techniques how do you simulate a real life attack. What drills do you use to get people accustom to the tension and speed of a real attack?
The benefit of Olympic style TKD is that you pad up and go pretty hard without having to worry too much about serious injury; provided both parties know what they are doing.
