I classify Kukki TKD as having 10 Basic Kicks (all performed using the rear leg) along with Common and Uncommon Kick Modifiers. 1) Front Kick / Ap Chagi / 앞 차기 2) Turning Kick / Dollyeo Chagi / 돌려 차기 (aka Roundhouse Kick) 3) Side Kick / Yeop Chagi / 옆 차기 4) Back Kick / Dwi Chagi / 뒤 차기 (not the same as Back Turning Side Kick) 5) Axe Kick / Naeryeo Chagi / 내려 차기 6) (Whipping) Hook Kick / Huryeo Chagi / 후려 차기 7) (Scorpion) Hook Kick / Nakka Chagi / 낚아 차기 8) Twisting Kick / Biteureo Chagi / 비틀어 차기 9) Inward Crescent Kick / An Chagi / 안 차기 10) Outward Crescent Kick / Bakkat Chagi / 바깥 차기 From here, each of the Basic Kicks (done using the rear foot) may have one or more common or uncommon modifiers applied to them. Here are some examples: Front Foot Kick / Ap Bal Chagi / 앞 발 차기 - The front foot kicks while the anchor foot does not travel. Example: Front Foot Front Kick / Ap Bal Ap Chagi Fast Kick / Ppaleun Bal Chagi / 빠른 발 차기 - The front foot kicks after the anchor foot travels forward. Travel → Chamber → Kick Example: Fast Side Kick / Ppaleun Bal Yeop Chagi Cut Kick / Keoteu Chagi / 커트 차기 - The front foot kicks while the anchor foot travels forward. Naturally a Yeop Chagi in WT competition. Chamber → Travel → Kick Example: Cut Turn Kick / Keoteu Dollyeo Chagi Tornado Kick / Dolgae Chagi / 돌개 차기 - A 360° back turning kick, with the first leg coming around to serve as a feint, impedance, or distance tool before the other foot delivers a kick. Naturally a Dollyeo Chagi, but can be applied to other kicks. Example: Tornado Axe Kick / Dolgae Naeryeo Chagi etc.
Oh man, I was about to comment that i missed the names in Korean haha.. I practiced taekwondo for over 10 years in my youth, reading the names now really brings me back to the teachings of my sah boo nim!
As a TKD coach myself, I think Corey is a good instructor in kicks. He explains the action of the kicks with simple and direct illustration on how to do the kicks
This man is part of the reason why it is essential to go to dojos or have a personal trainer when it comes to learning martial arts. I love how he referenced other kicks when he taught Kevin some of the kicks
I miss being able to go high impact like this. I injured my spine years ago and had to stop going for body-jarring power/speed. It was always so much fun. But to be fair, injury taught me a lot in martial arts that I'd have neglected. My favorite kick looks like an outside-to-inside crescent kick at the start. You leap forward and throw the kick at a range so close that your calf instead of your heel will hit the target. Then you turn your leg and bend your knee in midair, like a butterfly stretch. It's basically a right hook around your target's guard, but thrown with your heel instead of your fist. I would practice by jumping into an exterior corner and pushing off the wall with my kicking foot to spin back around, since landing one of these against a sparring partner might not feel too good. Nobody could ever block one of these in practice, ever. These days I don't even kick at all. Thighs/knees/shins to calves/thighs mostly, and more to bear weight or take balance away than do damage. It's so different from the flashy kicking I did as a youth.
Kevin acts like he's a couch potato but if anyone who's seen his sparring video with Jeff Chan, doing all those savate kicks beautifully, already knew he would pull off the TKD kicks as well.
@@KevinLeeVlog Yes, it seemed to be more a matter of coordination. Just watching I was already "wait, which foot goes where again?" LOL Like playing a piano, but with jumps and kicks.
Wow, Kevin! You nailed all of those really well, without a hint of body confusion. I was a TKD black belt when I started JKD, the Savate mechanics were so foreign it messed me up for awhile.
When you are done learning these... try some Contemporary Wushu kicks. Like the horizontal Butterfly Kicks, or something like the running, jumping, reverse spinning crescent kick. Those dudes can reach some insane Vertical Heights. One of my favorite Demos, is a Shaolin Front Fall, where you start out standing vertical, and allow yourself to fall forwards, flat on your chest. I used to do it over concrete. Some people land on their hands.. but I kept my fists balled, and landed on my arms that were in front of my chest. Shaolin "Head Rolls" are fun too.
To anyone that wants to learn the "Question Mark Kick" stand sideways against a wall. Throw a fast snapping front kick. Do this a few times and then start turning your kick over and making into a roundhouse kick. The reason for standing against a wall is because you want to learn to keep the kick coming straight up, looking like front kick but at the last second roll it over into a roundhouse.
TKD kicks are very useful to know. My first BB was in Chung Do Kwan from a first-generation in the US Korean man. He was very tough, but then he learned boxing in Japan. TKD now, is far from what it was back in the day at most schools. Sport TKD is the worst of all. ITF can be decent at some schools. Even though TKD means the foot hand way, most schools seem to forget about the use of the hands or minimize their functionality. In reality, to be a real fighter, hand techniques should be used way more than kicks. Perhaps I missed it, but where was the side kick?
One thing I will say about sport TKD and "mall karate" style schools is they are still ok for some basic training. The thing for people to do is take it serious and practice hard at home or in private sessions at the Dojang.
@@volentipugnum4045 During my early training days, I was in formal classes three times a week and trained on my own every other day. I loved the martial arts and still do.
@@Docinaplane I learned the "question mark kick" from one of the hokiest schools. They were giving out black belts to anyone that would pay the monthly fee. However, I asked one of the Korean instructors for private lessons and she made me stand sideways against a wall and throw a full front snap kick, but then in mid strike roll it over into a roundhouse kick. It took a long time but it's a beautiful kick to know.
I feel so validated in hearing that a cheat 720 was easier to learn for him than a 540. I had so much trouble trying to convince my body to throw the round hard enough to land on the same foot, but throwing the 720 came so naturally by comparison.
Kevin can now be a stunt double after training with Corey lol Kicks are fun in general, always good to have a good arsenal but keep practicing them properly The crescent kick looks like Bai Lian Tuei/Lotus kick from TCMA.
The only few early kicks I'd like to have been covered would be the step-in-front sidekick (popularized by Bruce Lee in the alley training scene in Way of the Dragon, and during the fight with o'hara in Enter the Dragon), basic spin back-kick, and jump spin-backick. Other than that amazing stuff Kevin!
4:50 It’s also called a reverse round kick in Tang Soo Do. ( Korean Karate the Father of TKD. TSD uses ALL limbs & self defense techniques for real life applications so we can go home alive if sh*t happens. 4:50 )
Ah, man! I wish my master would teach me such cool stuff. He only teaches me how to kill and crush. I'm dead serious got scared AF of injury so all attempts lack necessary comittment (is it spelled right?)
Already the first technique: rubbish! When doing frontsnap kick you hit with the ball of the foot! Because the target is not towards the ceiling, the target is right in front of you and you want your energy to go forward, not upward. Trying to kick somebody in the stomach like in the video will only get your foot injured. Also with the other techniques: why making the foot long? The foot is much more prone to injury when kicking like that. This is not as prominent when kicking pads. But kicking an oponents body? Than you will feel the difference. Plus you can kick much harder and do much more damage to the target when hitting with the ball of the foot. But aside from that: a good teacher.
The front snap isnt for the Abdomen. Its a Groin kick. As for so called foot injuries... that is why you do "Conditioning" training, to toughen up the skin, tissues, and bone density. Far too many people train with a mere heavy bag... but that alone, is not going to be sufficient for proper conditioning.
Additionally... while the ball isnt bad... I personally prefer to use a Toe-Stabbing kick. That said, you need a lot of specialized training + conditioning, to get a very strong toe impact, without damaging / breaking your toe. The benefits, are a much longer reach. As well as a more precise and Concentrated level of damage.

Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Indeed.
I´ve been practicing tkd for over 20 years... very nice kicking from Corey. Textbook techniques.
Corey is amazing!
Man, Kevin just casually gets all these kicks on first try. The TKD dude must be thinking "he lied to me, that bastard."
Half way through I realized he was sandbagging the whole time hahahahhahaa
@@CoreydiamondstuntsI was just trying to keep up with you. 🥵
Kevin! This was a ton of fun! Next time we do 1000 kicks!
I got my tea and popcorn ready. I am gonna watch you first 😂😂

Great job!

Cinema: my martial art is better then yours, lets fight!
This channel: your move is awesome, teach me
Man you are SO talented!
What a fun video. I see your humbleness brother and I love it! Clean kicks!
Now you and Jeff need to have a sparring match where you both practice all your new spinny moves.
Hahaha! I am gonna ask him.
Awesome video and great collab.
Kevin Lee the Tricking Master.......Feels like people with longer legs make great kickers...... my legs are shorter althougth im 5 11
Sweet, gonna copy all of those and use them in my on TKD sessions
Become like Sanji from One Piece
My next goal!
tkd is fun, they got that part down perfectly... also the athleticism it takes to do those moves, dear god....
Kevin can now be a stunt double after training with Corey lol
Kicks are fun in general, always good to have a good arsenal but keep practicing them properly
The crescent kick looks like Bai Lian Tuei/Lotus kick from TCMA.
Perhaps I should go try out stunt doubling next!
What’s TCMA?
@@KevinLeeVlog TCMA = traditional Chinese martial arts
People can always argue about which style is most effective, but one thing is for sure... TKD looks the coolest 😎
Kev looks super doing these moves! Awesome video!
That was a great breakdown of these kicks ima save this video for later lol
Kevin is on his way to becoming the next Ernie Reyes Jr. 😎👍

Anyway great video 👍💪👊
Hahah thank you!
that sensei is so buff lol
Really nice vid guys great work 👍 👌🤩🙏
SO JEALLOUS that he got the tsunami kick in ONE TRY!
I have done taekwondo for 5 years and I’m no where near this level . Hopefully someday tho 🙏
It's funny how everyone has their own names for the same kicks. Like a pop 360 to me is a tornado with a 2 footed take off.
Straight line works for all MA
What the difference between tiger style and crane style
Cory is awesome! We did Cobra Kai together.
Yessss!!
OMG I've tried doing the 540 for the longest time but still can't do it! Then you do it in one go lol!
Kevin! ❤
Cool.... it was cool!
Great taekwondo
Doctor told me I cannot have impact on the hand! Immediately holds a kicking pad
I love video 📸 from Cambodia 🇰🇭
That was pretty awesome, Kevin.
Ah, man! I wish my master would teach me such cool stuff. He only teaches me how to kill and crush.
I'm dead serious got scared AF of injury so all attempts lack necessary comittment (is it spelled right?)
Try Capoeira next
I did already! Check my previous video!
Tricking
Get ready for next episode!!
Is it fancy kicks week? Jeff and Seth did also some fancy kicks.
Great minds think alike 🤣🤣
@@KevinLeeVlog and both Videos are great. You and jeff are quick learners. Just needs a lil extra Training.
Look like deadpool when he using kick
my eyes be confusing cuz i thought it was tristan t in the thumbnail
When you kick this hard and you come into contact with opponent arms or elbows, isn't it a high risk to break your shin bones?
Great control of the legs gents! Is there a research that maybe learning taekwondo would make one a better soccer player?
Ask Ibrahimović
The fact that this guy learnt a 540 round first try after I’ve been trying for 2 years makes me feel sad and happy

I need on of those pads lol Thai pads just aren’t the best for throwing a bunch of different kicks like this
I agree!!
4 weeks without using your hands and studying TKD! So you got your black belt then right?
;) KIDDING KIDDING!
Come on Kevin, let’s stop pretending you don’t know TKD.
I did it as a kid, but never at this level that Corey was showing me. 😅😅
