List of all taekwondo kicks from beginner to expert?

Question

Start out with simple kicks like a front kick and keep going up. You don't have to list all of them but try to list as many as you can

Answer 1

The ones I can think of at the top of my head. I can't spell the names in Korean, just the English names.

Also, not in order but I can say which of the kicks I trained in.



-Front heel kick is the first one I learned.

-Round instep kick, I learned the round kick sometime after learning the size kick so probably the Forth or fifth.

-Round heel kick

-Round shin kick

-Reverse round outstep kick

-Reverse round heel kick

-Inside Crescent kick

-Outside Crescent kick

-Heel Side Kick was the second kick I learned and the hardest to specialize in.

-Knife edge side kick

-Switching Side kick

-Walking Side kick, the third one I learned and one of the easier ones to learn.

-Walking Back kick

-Shifting/ Hopping [Add name from above] kick is difficult to learn at first but its a powerful method. I learned to do this sometime after my 9th grading.

-Butterfly kick. Its called a Butterfly kick because both legs are in motion in the air together like Butterfly wings. Any kick or knee strike where both legs are in the air come from this method.

-Jumping 540 kick/ Tornado kick. A type of Butterfly kick with a spinning motion. I learned this one early. I was 10 so I must have been up to my 4th or 5th belt, which for me was Yellow with black tip.

-180 heel/ knife edge side kick.

-jumping 180 heel/ knife edge side kick.

-360 heel/ knife edge side kick.

-jumping 360 heel/ knife edge side kick.

-540 crescent kick

-Jumping crescent kick

-jumping 540 crescent kick

-Running side kick. I learned this after my first dan. There's nothing scarier than someone rushing at you and then side kicking you with that momentum. It was also Bruce Lee's favorite.

-Running 180 side kick. More difficult than the above but more powerful

-Side to side kick. I learned this half way through my 2nd dan training. Its a walking side kick followed by a 180 side kick.

-Double back kick.

-Split side kick. I hated this one but it was needed as a demonstration of my skill and control. Not an actual fighting technique.

-Jumping Side kick

-Toe Kick. A kick with the toes drawn back and the heel pointing outwards, you kick with the bottom of the toes and part of the bottom foot. Not actually a simple technique.

-Front Knee

-Side Knee

-Jumping Front Knee

-Jumping Side Knee

-Knee to Front Heel kick

-Axe Kick. How did I forget this? Not my favorite but it works. I learned it sometime during my 5th or 6th belt.

-Shuffle/ Bullet Kick. Learned it before going for my first dan. Its a series of round kicks with both legs shuffling in front of the other.

-Climbing Combo

-Double Kick. Very simple. Its any kick from above used twice on one leg.

-Double/ Multiple side/ round kick. A kick used when you have an opponent in the corner. Use side kicks following after each other aimed high. More speed than power.

-Axe Knee strike.

-Drop kick.





Thats as much as I can remember by name. All of them are using the chambered method and most are meant for self defense.





@Sev. Actually, many kicks used in Kickboxing, Taekwondo and even Kyukushin Karate were made by Kwans. The side kick was only seen in Kickboxing until 1990 when it started being used by Kickboxing gyms who have a Taekwondo influence.



I stuffed up the original edit. btw Sev, I sent you an email explaining it all.

Taekwondo Kicks Names

Answer 3

I'll try.

1. Axe Kick

2. Front Snap

3. Side Piercing

4. Round House with the Ball of the Foot

5. Round House with the Instep

6. Inward Crescent

7. Outward Crescent

8. Stomp

9. Checking

10. Pressing

11. Reverse Turning

12. Back Piercing

13. Side Thrusting

14. Twisting

15. Double Front Snap (aerial)

16. Back Snap

17. Scissors (aerial)

18. Inward checking.



That's all I can think of, offhand





Most of these, unless noted as aerial only, can be done from a variety of stances, with either leg, and in countless combinations. Expert level practitioners exhibit greater speed, power and balance, enabling them to pull off more effective combos.

RE:

Start out with simple kicks like a front kick and keep going up. You don't have to list all of them but try to list as many as you can

Answer 5

In no particular order:



Front Kick

Round House Kick

Pushing Kick

Side Kick

Hook Kick

Axe Kick

Inside Crescent Kick

Outside Crescent Kick

Inverse Round House Kick

Stomp (If you can consider it a kick)

Knee Strike (kick)

Sweeps (I consider them kicks too)

Toe kick



Then you have jumping, hopping, spinning, and shuffling variations followed by combinations and variations as to which part of the foot you use. Keep in mind that the ones I listed are some kicks but not all kicks you'll see in Taekwondo. Then again, can you really consider a kick Taekwondo, Karate, San Shao, etc?



@Leo - Do you consider checking kicks?



@Rik - Is there a book of sorts that you know of with this information? The reason why I ask is because a few months ago I remember a post stating that Round House wasn't even part of the Karate curriculum until Taekwondo came along. I saw a video of Allen Steen vs Joe Lewis in the 60s and both were using side kicks. I'm not saying you are wrong about the side kicks, but seeing as Mr. Lewis used them, him being a karateka, it leaves me questions. I'm really fascinated with the history of these strikes however.



Thanks



...looks like possum won

Answer 6

In WTF style Taekwondo, there are 8 basic kicks. All the other kicks that you see are variations of those kicks done by adding steps and turns. For example, a dolgi chagi (tornado kick, also called norebahn) is actually just a round house after a missed back kick.



The 8 basic kicks are:

Front

Back

Side

Round house

Inside Crescent

Outside Crescent

Axe

Hook

Answer 7

If you are a basketball playerand you would like your game to become more entirely then you need certainly to leap higher, actually jump higher with 9 to 15 inches with assistance from this program https://tr.im/ZSHkD , the Vert Shock program.

There are numerous basketball people out there who share exactly the same aim and want to boost their vertical jump enough to finally manage to dunk and you can certainly do that in only 8 week with the Vert Shock program.

The workouts do not require any heavy weight-lifting and all of the instruction includes weight workouts, gets, and sprints, sometimes you will work with a basketball and all your progress is likely to be for sale in the exercise blankets that you could hold out with you on your portable or tablet, or you are able to only get the PDF's and printing them out on paper.

With Vert Shock the dunk only look easy.
