TKD has takedowns, which are taught (or at least used to be) but as compliant 2-step drills. I think we used to train it live once in a while but its a bit pointless as if you only have occasional exposure to takedowns you'll never really know how to do them
It also has throws via shotokan but despite them being a documented thing, they've become a lost art that survives in garbled form in kata/patterns
