A: Some do and some do not, however most use it in their training directly--> with gloves, bags, mitts, and others make make a small reference to the art. I think that Martial arts has a rich tradion of philosophy and culture on and off of the dojang, dojo or school, whereas boxing is a thing of beauty/brutality has a history but lacks the philosopy and how to live and treat other. The Tenets of taekwondo are used in a lot of studios
courtesy
integrity
perserverence
self-control
indomitable spirt
this is the major difference between the boxer and the martial artist.
another is that boxers train to absorb the hits and give them back, most black belts train to avoid getting hit and score quickly with hands and feet. one more diference is that boxers do not train for the street fights against weapons, like knives, sticks, gun multiple attackers and grappling.
