Does Taekwondo use weapons?
I suppose that the Kukkiwon has tested their Black Belts on these weapon skills and has their own requirements for sticks and stuff. I think not, TKD in the states draws from a broader range of martial training influences, any training someone gives you in weapons and is only certified to teach any branch of TKD has learned it from another source. Still, they may be compitent techniques, but not of TKD origin. I would sooner belive TKD teaching defenses against a weapon IE a stick or staff, that makes sense. Saying to defend against a weapon means you know how to use it properly does not make sense. I reiterate, someone only certified to teach TKD and professes to teach weapons is either lying or they learned it from another system and give credit for that knowledge to TKD because they only have TKD certification or don't have certification in the art the weapons training truely comes from. People who belive TKD encompasses training in Sai, NunChaku or LOL even Katana believe in the Ninja Turles too. If an instructor has certification in TKD and Certification in Kobudo, that instructor can teach the weapons, but he still can not call them TKD weapons techniques, it's BS. If you train weapons in TKD on the rare occasion, those weapons aspects are not TKD, but the defense against such weapons like, slip the stick strike and roundhouse kick the groin then the head, I agree, that is TKD. I do not agree with, slip the stick strike,trap the weapon hand and outside snake disarm and follow up with stick strikes 1 thru 9, that's FMA. I don't see why people want to believe in the ancient TKD weapons techniques, they don't exist.bobster_ice said:In TKD we sometimes use sticks and do weapon techniques. sometimes we also learn how to disarm opponents who have guns, sticks and knifes etc. TKD may me an open hand art but we still use weapons on the rare occasion,

Jimi said:Tae Kwon Do as it was named around the 1940's & 50's, is not an art that teaches weapons (Hand & Foot Art).
Jimi said:For centurys Koreans have trained and fought utilizing body weapons as well as hand to hand weapons, such as Hwa Rang Do & Kumdo, which are more of all around systems, TKD is not.
Jimi said:Not that Korean Systems don't encompass weapons training, just not TKD as it was formed 50-60 years ago. Not bashing TKD, just the facts.
Jimi said:I dislike seeing someone who has only trained a year and a half in a commercial TKD school and teaches a NunChaku seminar with only the understanding of the weapon he got from Kung Fu Theater and his sisters majorette baton twirls. Fillipino Kali Stick fighting is a good weapons systems you also see along side of TKD in schools, that does not make sticks a TKD weapon. End Rant. PEACE
