How to Do a Side Kick | Taekwondo Training

[@HowardJonesOfficial]

I like how every technique has it's own battle cry

[@indi-go1868]

It's not a "battle cry". We say "Ayy!" (Or any other variation of that) whenever we punch or kick, because it supposedly puts more energy into your move and releases air out of your lungs so if someone were to hit you (let's say in the stomach area) not as much air would be forced out of you by your opponent.

[@Isaac-xc9jj]

Indi-go bro he's making a joke

[@Sheeshiest]

Lol

[@quasar4601]

LOL .. funny

This kick is known as "yop chagi". In "gibon kyorugi" (free sparring), this kick is effective often as a defensive kick to push the attacker back if the kick is just at the belt--that's the strongest point of the kick. However, there is a weak point with this kick---there is a bit of a delay when you raise your leg before you do that side kick, which can telegraph your intent just a little bit to the opponent, and the kick could be blocked by the opponent. That is why the best way to do that kick especially when free sparring is you do the kick but make sure the prep is as quick as possible--don't raise your kicking feet for say, 1 second or more and then do the side kick. Also, don't look at your kicking leg when you do the side kick as much as possible...look at the opponent's face...this will reduce "telegraphing." Hope it helps.

+john coffin I take Traditional Style Tae Kwon Do, and I can answer your question. When you lift your foot up, your weight should not be heavier on one side. To do this, it is best to not tilt your head, and keep your guard up; this keeps the left side of your body at an equal amount of weight as your right side. Also, stay sideways; don't let your chest face the opposite direction of where you kick will go. One last advice is to do basic stretches, and I'm pretty sure Howcast has provided you a video on that. Hopefully what I just told you was helpful :D

[@amark350]

When I was taught the sidekick, they broke it up into 6 steps... step out, step behind, fold, lock, refold and down. It's useful for beginners because you can talk about each position (pivot foot, for example... locking the leg, etc).

[@Gothicbz]

I’m a red belt in taekwando currently, but side kick has always been a struggle of mine

[@Rounak_Jain]

What kick are you perfect in?

[@aoinocturne]

Tip for others: Remember to keep your heel down of the foot that is standing & pivoting, especially when you execute the kick. Figured that out today as a white belt, no more struggles with balance

[@quasar4601]

Amazing kicks !! Totally amazing. Notice on the lead leg he just does not fire it,but uses the more modern skip hop motion. Brilliant kicks

[@iOS17.51]

Thanks! It was really helpful! I’m confident about my belt test now! Thanks!!

[@SupereRRbloxgirl]

11 years late but I love this our coach dropped out as soon as I beacme a yellow belt 2 years ago know I’m reclling the stuff it’s amazibg

[@anismagnetemas796]

Taekwondo is so good,my son loves taekwondo's.

[@MegaHaloman11]

This Taekwondo can be used in self-defense against people who don't know any type of fighting-style or martial art. It is also used for show like you mentioned.

[@dandiaz19934]

1:03 the little hop at the beginning 😂😂😂

[@XiangYu94]

Personally I’ve used the skipping sidekick in a fight before to good effect, it landed on the dude’s liver and he was pretty much out after that. I’m an amateur so the skipping part was sloppy but mislead him to believe it was the actual kick, which made him mess his timing up, leaving him open for my kick.

[@FredNitroJunk]

I was not sure about the differance between side and front kick. You just save my 6 years old for her exam next week!!

[@darkendawna9234]

Basically the same except the front kick goes in a straight line when kicking. Side kick is mostly used on the torso of the body and when doing it you higher your knees and basically just kick but sideways.

[@Neighborsdismay]

Skipping or hopping side kick! Nice. I always knew this as the Slide up side kick. Hence to never break structure. Being airborn or taking a foot off the ground negates kinetic energy immensely. Why the slide up side kick was not ever mentioned or rated is beyond me. Where by far. The most impact full and powerful kick possibly done by a human.

[@farhay7802]

SO AMAZING!! I'm actually learning TAEKWONDO!!

[@NooR-sp3sm]

😢😭😭😭I'll never get the chance to do this,I love it so much ,it's a life dream that could never happen. Why ?! 😢i only get to see how awesome this is and feel sorry for myself.

Been practicing kicks and just found out that this is the one I've been doing most lmao. Glad to know I'm doing the move right, considering I didn't even know it was tkd.

[@teamela5912]

nice hair cut

[@eddabjorkaegisdottir6747]

i love taekwondo

[@angeliquetaekwon-do6383]

I learn that kick quickly and easy.

[@solRandom]

Question: shouldn’t he be looking at his target? He keeps moving his head to the side when he kicks.

[@peakfire4649]

I think it’s because he already knew he hit it and was doing only one kick with no combo

[@danielkim2727]

0:25 HAIYAH!

[@sway7786]

I just got to half yellow belt and I watched it simply so I can already do it when my next class starts

[@themetalgod66683]

It could be used for self-defense but, I wouldn't use it. I did this kind of Tae kwon do for about 2 or 3 years. This stuff just looks nice. If you wanted to be in martial art movies than this would def be what you would want to take.

[@chayshapiro3145]

You are amazing I love your video where do you live you are excellent I’ve watched all of your taekwondo videos they are amazing.....

[@HomelessNinjaKennedy]

Cameraman: "I have an idea! Let's only film the upper half of the body for a few of the takes! That way half of the video can we worthless!"

[@guynesg]

This actually traditional taekwondo kicks, I think if its been effective for thousand of years then its still effective now.

[@samsuryazhary8063]

This is nice. Thanks

[@fuko4066]

1:30 so basically jkd pendulum step side kick

[@MrMadBlaize]

Cuz JKD has a traditional TKD when Mr. Lee created his own fighting system.

[@MisterBenjaminDu]

Taekwondo has a lot of limitations (no punches to the face, no kicks below the waist) but the side kick is probably its best contribution to the broader martial arts/MMA world.

[@TKDcork]

What you are describing is WTF. Check out ITF which has punches and kicks.

[@engchoontan8483]

I have a method to increase balance. Left-Front, Right-back = later Left-Front, Right-Front = Right-Front to Left-of Left-Front = push Right-Front to Down-Front with golf-swing(BY rotating on ball of Left-Front using the push-effect swing of Right-Front) Left-Front, Right-Back = same as above BUT step-one is Right-Knee into lower-torso = step-two is knife-edge of foot with heel into opponent's other half (draw center line, right-foot to his right-half to prevent your-injury) This is how i practice BALANCE

[@engchoontan8483]

Hands swinging freely-relaxed like ... funny...

[@ritikpatel8987]

Nice kick

[@jimenezap09]

Thanks Jason!

[@Kris10000]

Dude! you forgot to tell the most important part "how to position the base foot"

[@IngridAbigailCastilloAnton]

Muchas gracias me fue de mucha ayuda

[@landunzuzi2148]

skipping side kick aka the Sweet Chin Music!😂😂😂

[@daveitav2923]

As Charles Smith wrote, his upper body posture is incorrect. Taught many years ago by Sang Lee we watched very closely to detail. Unless a spin kick, you should always look at opponent. I give kudos that this instructor at least turns his hip into it. Which is correct form but sometimes skipped in sparring. But his foot position is incorrect. Sang Lee taught us to raise the big toe, lower the other toes, heal should be slightly higher than the rest of the foot, and you are striking with the heal and outer edge of the foot. That is Yop Chagi… when you strike with the flat of the foot and the ball of the feet extended further out, that is a different kick. A kind of hook kick, or usually a spin kick.

[@u6uggg6hguiuggy]

I think this'll be useful.

[@aganagangeorgesy5196]

Love u master,u the best!

[@urbane26]

His face is turned away from the direction of the kick...he should see where the kick is going...this is incorrect.

[@rednasxela6031]

+Saikat Chakraborty YOu can visualize it.

[@mikebather6688]

Saikat Chakraborty idiot

[@navid801]

May you are right. When you do just side kick or front to side your face must be in direction of kick but you do back to side or back kick the direction can be changed. But your target practice should be good.

[@simirvempali3544]

Saikat Chakraborty your right

[@kanagawayarichin]

He turned away to defend against a possible counter strike

[@damienthompson4423]

Hadouken, Hadouken.

[@SinerAthin]

I notice that sometimes his eyes drift away from his opponent during some of those kicks. Should that be avoided? I've trained with different martial groups, but a common rule seems to be that one should always keep an eye on your opponent as much as possible.

[@cutemarshamello8747]

can i ask how you can get those power to kick hard? because i am just a yellow belt taekwondo trainee and when i kick with all my strength hoping to kick it harder,but i barely touch the kicking pad

[@jayniahvinielle1894]

im really confused between round house and side kick :

[@Spladoinkal]

Roundhouse kick is a kick with the front of the leg such as the lower shin. You bring the kick up from the side in kind of a circular motion and kick with the front of the leg. The side kick is straight out and you hit with your heel.
