TKD doesn’t formally have low-kicks but it does exist of course. What are your observations regarding these techniques? Personally, I've been trying to teach myself and use these the last few years and now add them in my new Kickboxing school. I really reccomend Master Jeong's book, Taekwondo Application, wherein he covers this and other lesser known TKD topics like elbows and knees which appear in Poomsae.

So, I want to please, hear about your annectdotes, e.g., I Spinning Hook Kicked an opponent like Andy Hugg and they said it hurt, or I low side-kicked and nothing happened. Are there any modifications you need make? E.g., In the aforementioned TKD book, I've read kick upwards on inside low-kicks with the lead leg to their front leg and down on the front with your back leg.

Examples: Roundhouse, Spinning Hook, Calf Kicks, Back Kick, Jumping Back Kick, Crescent kick and more.

Does anyone have much experience with TKD AND Hapkido as a combination? Apparently this was a famous 90's combination and/or still is. It's not in country, for the most part, unfortunately. Is it mostly the same thing or is there a nice complimentary between the two? E.g., more grappling? TKD has about 1%-5% grappling in my exp, mayhap Hapkido has some more emphasis on this, I believe they train their leg kicks more etc,.

I love TKD, and done both WTF and ITF; I'd love to learn more about the differences between the smaller Kwan schools and their differences in syllabus - maybe more grappling or more Hapkido-like kicks?

Me: Left my school in Oceania due cultural deterioration and am now doing Kickboxing utilising TKD.
