How to Take a Punch

OK, while Her Majesty walks around Slovenia, let me express pleasure that someone wrote a great article about something many TKD practitioners widely forget in modern days. As WTF Taekwondo is (after being martial art) full-contact sport (and nonetheless important for ITF Taekwondo which approves head punches even in sport combat), taking a punch is as much important as knowing how to deploy it. Read on very interesting article until I come with more to say.

Wow, that's such a load of BS. The best way to take a punch is not to take a punch. Which basically means not being around the situation where you might take a punch in the first place. And if you get into such situation nevertheless, than the best way how to take a punch would be running away from a punch as fast as possible. You should write blog entry about that. ;-)
