Non-practitioners  of Taekwon-Do are inclined to believe
that Taekwon-Do consists of "fancy" kicking techniques.
This thought is incorrect. Although Taekwon-Do gained
popularity as a sport it continues to practice and develop
the Korean Art of Self Defence. Self defense is, when
facing an opponent the skill to control the enemy and the
use of techniques to protect oneself.

The term "Ho Sin" , means to "defend yourself", and "Sul"
(sometimes spelled in English as 'Sool') means "techniques
of".
Hosinsul consists of practical solutions to different
self-defence situations. Hosinsul training increases the
students' ability to control the opponent without permanent
harm, for instance by locking techniques. Both moral and
legal principles stress the importance of hosinsul training.

The basic preconditions for realistic hosinsul are the
following: 1) A reaction that is correct and fast enough, 2) a
balance that enables the use of taekwon-do techniques,
and 3) simple, automatic and effective movements.
