the tkd they used was most likely nothing like the tkd we see today though right? it was probobly utilized a decent amount of hand strikes like knife hands and hammer fists and things like that which are great for self defense.
Yeah, you probably wouldn't see too many tornado kicks, jump spin kicks etc. just basic open handed striking and kicking - probably at all levels, but with atleast one foot on the ground. Knife work too.

I'm not doing any hand to hand or CQB training just yet, guys. I've got a while to go.

Any hand to hand stuff that I want to do now is on my own - at some point I'll get some time down the line I'll get CQB training.
