How to Execute a Front Kick in Taekwondo. By Grandmaster Jimmy R. Jagtiani


TAEKWONDO FEDERATION OF INDIA





CHAGI – KICKING:
“TAE” In Korean means the art of kicking, attacking a target by kicking with the feet, a force derived from the systematic movement of the body. Taekwondo is well known for its superiority in foot techniques. Not only are the legs very powerful weapons, but they are also used for blocking. While executing kicks, one needs to maintain a solid, balanced stance with the stationary foot. Special attention must be paid to the shifting of balance and withdrawal of the kicking foot.

There are various types of kicking:

Face kick, implies force on front face.
Kick to the trunk, trunk implies solar plexus and the flank.
Low kick, implies lower abdomen.
