Welcome back, warriors! 👋🔥
After mastering your first stances and punches, it’s time to bring the spotlight to what Taekwondo is most famous for: the kicks! This LIVE class is dedicated to practicing and refining the fundamental kicks every martial artist must know. With more than 20 years of training and competing, I can tell you — your kicks are your signature weapon in Taekwondo. 🚀
What We’ll Cover in This Class:
✅ Front Kick (Ap Chagi) – The simplest and fastest kick. Perfect for creating distance, stopping an opponent’s advance, or powering through with precision.
👉 Focus points: knee chamber, ball of the foot contact, and quick recoil.
✅ Roundhouse Kick (Dollyo Chagi) – The most iconic Taekwondo kick. Used in sparring, demonstrations, and competition.
👉 Focus points: pivot your supporting foot, rotate your hips, and strike with the instep or shin.
✅ Side Kick (Yop Chagi) – A powerful linear kick that’s both defensive and offensive.
👉 Focus points: align your body sideways, hit with the heel, and drive your hip through the target.
✅ Back Kick (Dwi Chagi) – A sneaky yet powerful counterattack. Great for sparring when opponents rush in.
👉 Focus points: glance over your shoulder, extend straight back, and use your heel as the striking surface.
Why Kicks Matter 🦵✨
Taekwondo kicks are not only visually stunning but also build explosiveness, balance, and flexibility. Practicing them strengthens your core, improves posture, and sharpens reaction time. And trust me — mastering your basic kicks will give you the confidence to handle advanced techniques down the road.
💪 Strength – Your legs are the strongest weapons in your body.
🧘 Flexibility – Kicks train your hips and spine to move fluidly.
🔥 Speed & Power – Fast, controlled kicks overwhelm opponents and build discipline.
