Kicks of Taekwon-Do

FOOT TECHNIQUES (Bal Gisool)

Taekwon-Do is widely recognized for its superiority in foot techniques, not only in their use as attacking tools, but also for the imaginative manner in which the feet are employed in blocking, dodging and the myriad of flying motions that offer the student the facility of speed, balance, flexibility, adroitness, coordination, and so on.

Attack Techniques (Gong Gyok Gi)

There are classified into piercing kicks, thrusting kicks, smashing kicks, pressing kicks, pushing kicks, straight kicks, sweeping kicks, consecutive kicks and flying kicks. The common principles of all these kicks are:

1. The maximum use of the knee spring of the stationary leg should always be employed.

2. To prepare oneself for the next motion and to prevent the left from being grabbed, the kicking foot must be withdrawn immediately after the kick with few exceptions.

3. Body weight should be shifted to the kicking leg at the point of contact, then shifted back to the stationary leg.

4. A strong stance should be maintained with the stationary foot.

5. Once the kick to be delivered is decided, the body must be adjusted toward the target.

6. Do not allow the stationary foot to pivot at he moment of impact.

7. Never raise the heel of the stationary foot at the moment of impact.

8. The knee of the stationary leg must be bent slightly to maintain the balance at the point of impact, except in the case of a pressing kick.

9. The range and point of focus must be calculated exeactly. An adjustment must be made for the opponent who is either to close or too far form the attacker.

10. With few exceptions, every movement must begin with a backward motion to gain momentum, increasing mass and velocity.
