Taekwondo is
known for its powerful kicks. Therefore to master Taekwondo,
you must learn all of these kicks. Each page has free written & video
instructions for these Taekwondo kicks. English language instruction
starts about a minute into each video.
* To get very good at your kicks, you
must practice. I use a stationary kicking dummy at home in order to
practice difficult kicks.
Roundhouse Kick - The workhorse kick in Taekwondo. Used most
frequently.
Push Kick -
The push kick is a great kick to knock your opponent off
balance.
Front Kick
- A front kick is useful for hitting your opponent in the groin
or doing a snap kick to the chin.
Axe Kick - A
high axe kick is useful to striking your opponent's head or
collar bone.
Back Kick -
The back kick is my favorite Taekwondo kick. Very
powerful.
Side Kick -
A Taekwondo side kick is an effective self-defense kick,
especially if it is aimed at the knee.
Spinning Hook Kick
- If done correctly, the Taekwondo spinning hook kick is a very deceptive and devastating kick.
Spinning Roundhouse Kick
- The spinning roundhouse kick is a more powerful version of the
regular roundhouse kick.
Jumping Double Roundhouse Kick - The jumping double
roundhouse kick is a very effective kick for sparring. Less
useful in real life.
Here is one of
the Taekwondo kicking videos. It covers spinning hook
kicks.
