Master The Roundhouse Kick (Taekwondo)

[@Lucas_F_Melo]

I'm a karate guy (1 year and 3 months of training) and this video is pure gold! Thanks!

[@tkdguide]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@mmissjulia]

I did taekwondo as a child. I absolutely loved my dojang and achieved black belt. Unfortunately, I had to quit, haven't done it in years but, would love to return. Your videos are making it all come back to me. Thank you so much!

[@KingFyber-fh3hs]

Roundhouse kicks are not only dependable but they give u a badass feeling

[@markracadio5207]

Indeed it is

[@amyaccount7935]

I don't even practise TKD, but I really like your breakdown! Very understandable and easy to copy thank you! :)

I love the roundhouse kick one of my favorite kicks

[@walterchamberlain9052]

I'm so glad that you added the correction of "farther" rather than "further". Many people see the two words as interchangeable, but they're not. Thank you. Oh, yeah, the kicking tips were great, too. ;)

I love this guy! You're hilarious!

you are making my kicks better thanks ❤

You're so funny and entertaining, hehe!! But yeah, i appreciate your lessons more importantly.

In the update of kukkiwon in the 2022 manual for the basics and then the wt for poomsae competitions, now the knee does pass a little from the center, precisely to give it effectiveness, since the martial arts forms aim to teach how to perform the basic techniques to then perform them against targets or real people. Pd: Good video, I love your channel

[@tkdguide]

@@gabrielorellana6544 interesting, thanks for sharing!

[@gabrielorellana6544]

@@tkdguide More than a change, it was a clarification, since in Kukkiwon, both in the 2005 manual and in the new 2022 one, it is like this, and the WT made the clarification that the kick must be passing the head and that the way it is aligned with the body was a modification by the same athletes to make it look "prettier." Pd: If I could send photos here I would send you the ones of the dollyeo chagi of both manuals.

[@bryanphillips7252]

I just watched your Side Kick video and this one back to back and couldn't help but notice the similarities between the chamber position for the two kicks, o.k. for the side kick the knee is pulled up a bit closer to the chest but the positions of the supporting foot and leg, hips upper body etc. are pretty much the same. There is another Tae Kwon Do instructor on youtube named Carl Van Roon who talks about the "universal chamber" for the kicks, maybe he is on to something... Or he has just given a name to something that Tae Kwon Do people have been doing all along. Beautiful Side Kick by the way, right down to the heel being higher than the toes at the point of impact; a text book example!

Yes, it’s a very useful technique.

[@KIngaiune]

Instep in the meatier part near the ankle is a great place to hit with a roundhouse in and out of the sport side. Especially the higher you are kicking it is less and less practical (or even possible) to hit with the shin. If you are stuffing your opponent that much your better off either using a hand technique or a front/side kick to give you a bit more separation. If you are going for body kicks yea shin is probably better for maximum damage though ball of the foot can do some good targeted damage too if thats what you are going for. It really depends on your intended application sport v self defense.

Thanks much sir, very interesting, make up more like this ...

[@heuger1230]

hey i know this is one year after and i dont know if you'll even answer but when should you use the taekwondo style kick (raising kick in a straight line ahead then rotating knee and kicking) and when should you use the muay thai style kick (kicking in an arch)

[@yakaribeutner9070]

I really Like your Videos. Good stuff. Thank you :)

[@kennethscott3538]

Thank You Daniel Son🥋😇

[@zacmich6472]

I like to do it from a stance with both knees slightly bent and add a small jump with the kick 😈

[@Vinnay94]

Omg I love that version. Bren Foster did it like that on Sports Science where they compared Kicks from 4 Martial Arts. Capoiera, Karate, Muay Thai and Taekwondo.

[@irotosuk9663]

[@Dave-ti2ue]

If you're a real strict Japanese karate person, it's with the ball of the foot. Same as the front kick.

[@CoolTI-Daniel]

Completely off topic (My apologies I don't know how to reach for direct questions) I am curious why different schools have different Belt Colours. In my first school I have gone white, orange green. In my current school they go White, White Yellow*only for kids, Yellow, yellow green, green, green blue, blue, blue red, red, red black, 1st Dan black. ... Actually I Think I found it... WT (World Taekwondo) and ITF (International Taekwondo Federation) have different belt colour standards. Posting anyways as I find it interesting :P

[@tkdguide]

Yeah, everyone does their own thing with the colors. The gup and dan ranks are the same, that’s what you will want to look at when determining rank from one school to another.

[@CoolTI-Daniel]

@@tkdguide Thank you! ... Also, you are awesome!

[@tyrojames9937]

WELL...

[@78a67h]

You seem like a capable athlete but you lack martial arts experience, due to age considerations. By "chambering" before kicking you lose the most important power-generating component which is THE HIP TWIST. Moreover, apart from contacting with the shin (Thai boxing), and most commonly with the instep, you can contact with the ball of foot for greater penetration and damage to the target. This requires a slight variation to the standard performance of the roundhouse, but this is for the more experienced practitioner.

[@7upai]

I can't split 😢

[@zacmich6472]

Run a little, then tie a resistance band to a door handle or something else and do kicks with it attached to your feet towards the inside to warm up. Then do several splits for longer: like 20, 30 seconds. Do splits after training too, I know coaches don't allow it, but you do them outside while still warm.
