Welcome to my Blog!

I am a Taekwondo 1st dan and I have learn this art for close to 14 years now. I have also taught for around 4 years, to young and old in different clubs. What I have here are some of the basic Taekwondo kicks that you will learn.

As Taekwondo is has evolved and rapidly improve, no other martial art has focus on leg techniques more than we do. Other than the Northern Punch and Southern Kicks of Shaolin, which I don’t think they are actively spreading this art to outsiders.

Here are some the 8 most basic kicks (8 because it is easy to remember) that I have repeatedly practice, refine and pass on to my other students throughout these years. Although they may not be the best or fastest scoring kicks in tournaments, it is still useful in situations outside of tournaments. when executed properly with enough practice, they are deadly and delivers great damage to your opponent

1) Front Kick - a kick that is simple and direct. Prepares you for turning kick

2) Turning kick (Roundhouse kick)

3) Side kick

4) Slamming kick (Axe kick)

5) Back kick (Back thrust)

6) Back hook (Reverse roundhouse kick)

7) Crescent kick (Inner/outer crescent)
Front Push kick

By learning and perfecting these kicks on both the left and right foot, it means you have a good foundaton on kicks and this could help in other martial art techniques as well.
