Keep in mind that when Taekwondo was formed as a complete Martial Art in the 1950's, many of the Kwan (school) founders had backgrounds in yudo/judo, hapkido/Aikido, and other influences that combined to make Taekwondo a complete system of self defense. We do not put an emphasis on flips and throws like is done in Judo, but they are a viable option that is supposed to be included in a complete Taekwondo curriculum.
