Ppaegi (Pull away)

This technique is used to pull out a part of the body (mainly the wrist) when it is grabbed by the opponent. This technique should be performed swiftly without preliminary motions, and while ensuring that the motions are not excessively large. The trainee should use the opponent’s balance and direction of force to their advantage. Subsequently, they should use the body’s elasticity (rotational force generated from the twisting of the waist and ground reaction force) to perform Stepping (Ditgi) and Pulling Out (Ppaegi) simultaneously. The trainee should raise the opposite hand to the side of the face to defend themselves and adopt a stance for the next movement. They should quickly find the center of gravity after the movement. They can perform the pulling out motion more easily by kicking the opponent’s leg or pushing the opponent’s shoulder to knock the opponent off balance.

The types of Ppaegi (pull away) include Naeryoppaegi (downward pull away), Ollyeoppaegi (upward pull away), Teureoppaegi (inward turning pull away, outward turning pull away), Dollyeoppaegi (upward rotate pull away, downward rotate pull away)
