Question for martial art instructors. Does TKD hand work hide spear training?

Been thinking about some of the hand work in TKD like the vertical outward block that seems a little impractical for hand to hand fighting... But it makes since for spear fighting (protect vital tendons) and the few hand movements seem to work with a spear in the hands with little modification (slight change on hand angle) Anyone fluent in that style able to shed light on if that ? Or give some examples?

I think the block you are refering to is the "high rising block" (sang dan chigamaki) spelling ouch.... yes most of the elaborate movements in TKD are very impracticle, but very powerful.... great for your body.... Our instructor had a bamboo stick he would hit our arms with on this paticular block, to demonstrate the proper angle it need to be to deflect the weapon away from our head... (if someone were to swing a baseball bat, the idea that you didnt want the ball bat to go through your arm to your head but glance off you arm) He would also explain that it will still hurt, and the best situation againt that sort of weapon is to be far away (if you can run, run) but if that is not an option you must get close... Many instructors teach only the movents (very poorly i may add), and not the pratcile application, which will get their students hurt badly. And possibly why many ppl think TKD is the laughing stock in the MA world.
Reply:most TKD blocks are for training purposes like in poomse to build strength and endurance not for practical use. Have you've ever seen any one use it in a tournament ( sparring match )like they do when there doing poomse. NO.You have to adjust you blocks according to what situation your in. Remember your weapon is just an extension of your hand block with your weapon but don,t leave yourself open for other attack. Remember that the weapons you train with should be the ones you can use practically. Maybe a bow staff or knife all of the other weapons are not practical and illegal you won,t carry a spear with you as your walking down the street.
Reply:Tae Kwon Do hand training barely includes HAND training. Why would they "hide" spear training?
