Jook Sool techniques in Hapkido are the same as many other martial arts. As in Taekwon-Do, Karate, and others, the point of the kick is to push, destroy, brick the opposing target. With the majority of the Jook Sool, of course, those principles can be applied and should when appropriate, however, attacks are concentrated upon pressure points, vital spots to get the opponent to “comply” with a follow-up technique such as a wristlock, throw, sweep, etc. The techniques can be used as a “stand-alone” but, they are designed to weaken and distract while follow-up techniques are applied.
