Taekwondo Instructional Kicking Videos

  • Roundhouse Kick - This basic Taekwondo kick is probably the most frequently used kick in Taekwondo, esp. for sparring.

  • Push Kick - The push kick is a great defensive Taekwondo kick in order 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.

  • Hopping or Step Behind Side Kick - The Taekwondo step behind side kick is a great way to close the distance with an opponent & land a powerful kick

  • 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.

  • Tornado Kick (or Jumping Spinning Roundhouse Kick) - Here are some video instructions for a tornado kick. If used properly, this Taekwondo kick can result in some spectacular knockouts during sparring (see the video on this page). 

  • Jumping Double Roundhouse Kick - The jumping double roundhouse kick is a very effective Taekwondo kick for sparring. Less useful in real life.

  • Jumping Back Kick - A jumping back kick is a useful counter kick for sparring.

  • Jumping Spinning Hook Kick - I always find this Taekwondo kick very difficult to execute. :)  

  • Knee Strikes - You can not use knee strikes during Taekwondo sparring. However, knee strikes are very effective in "real life" combat.
