Hosinsul

Foreword

In HOSINSUL (self-defense), there is usually physical contact between the attacker to defender.

In defense against weapons there is usually physical contact of the defender against the attacker.

We share hosinsul into two parts:

• Physical contact attacker
• Forward with weapons

Therefore ITF Taekwondo is a modern sport considering all possible defense techniques. For defense For example, long distance (legs), medium range (arms, elbow, knee) or close distance (throwing, extrication,vital points).

Note: It is always possible that one is faced with a very strong opponent. Here are two solutions:

• Use your speed and rotational movement.
• Hit the opponent in a painful place.

Physical contact attacker

The opponent holds.

Three possibilities:

• Offensive movement: against opponent attacks with stroke or stamp on a vital place or vulnerable body spot.
• Breaking movement: on the attacking limb.
• Liberation movement: by twisting motion followed by counterattack.

Attack Situations

• standing
• kneeling
• lying
• sudden attack of opponent

Attacker with weapons

You will be attacked with a weapon (s). Dodging is the most appropriate, but you're not far enough (counterattack possible weapon or grab).

Try the opponent to make an additional "step". To be so close (or to weapon accordingly) possible to assist the counterattack finished.

Pihagi (= evade, avoid) is important. Left or right, but not back in line. Block against the arm or hand, but not against the weapon.
