Like boxing? Maybe the art has changed since I've studied it, but the strikes were more like karate back in the mid 90's - we didn't march up and down the dojang doing reverse punches, but we hit the pork-chop pads: back fists, lunge punch, reverse punch, ridge hand, downard knife hand, outward knife hand, inside knife hand, spear hand etc.
