My instructor doesn't like us to kick high, because we can be knocked off balance. He also says a good kick is better than a high kick. But I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to learn how to kick like this! It may not be as useful in combat- but it is such a beautiful kick!
thanks for posting - he executes the dwi huryeo chagi (spinning hook kick) very well. However the kick is best executed using the heel as the striking point - this demonstration clearly uses the flat sole of the foot with the toes extended ....... I trained old school with a Korean Grandmaster and we always used the heel to strike(conditioned of course) - it is like comparing slapping the face with a ping pong bat compared to slamming the head with a sledge hammer (focus of power to a small area to maximise destructive force) ..... harder to do but far more devastating in my experience.
In the last second of the kick one must violently turn their upper body away from the kicking leg. Timing is crucial. This will give you the "whipping" motion and help keep your torso parallel to the floor. If one does not do this, not a problem, but the kick will just be a spinning hook kick and not a spinning whip kick. Kenneth EXECUTES THIS PERFECTLY. Happy Holidays.
Because you opponent may not always be the same height as you or they might be in mid air(small chance). kicking high still allows you to get points in sparring.
When used as a counter (which is the proper way to use it) it's enough to feel the kick of your opponent on your arm/body, and then it cannot miss. As my master says: you may allow yourself to get hit, but don't let it go unpunished. Moreover, using a superior technique is worth the sacrifice of getting hit at the same time
@JohnnyxCash hey thanks for your comment, well im gonna try it turning the shoulder first, but theres anyway to keep balance, cuz every time i low my upper body i lost balance and almost end on the floor xD, also yea merry x-max man
@00wn3d its funny because the weight carries the power...I know, im about 245lbs. And that faster i plul this kick out, the more devastating it is...The key is always speed though..this kid is quick...so with the snap at the end, easy KO...and by snap, i mean the last little extension of the hip, not from the knee down to the foot...but the whipping from hip to foot...
@MrEran1996 i been training kicks since the last 3 months, such as flexibilitie , im arround 20 cms of the floor on my side splits, i can do a side kick at the same heigth of my head, (gotta warm up first cuz its kinda hard), been practise this kick and i cannot do it higher than my chest ( on normal standing position), i am not sure what's wrong with it. do you know ?
Good thing I am not that tall so I could duck out this kick and counter with muuultiple choices that muay thai has taught me, does Taekwondo even involve punches?
Here's my only problem with this video...too many of us TKD artists kick too high... You must be on target! Beautiful kicks oly work in demo....and you have those kicks... But when it calls for it, be on target, that's what self defense is all about.
Not saying that I'm much better but his form isn't the best. This kick uses the torso as a counterbalance instead of the arms. His arms were flapping open to provide the balance he needed instead of his torso.
why should he be able to kick that high I am also a high kicker but I never try to kick higher than the top of the target .Also when fighting he may kick higher than needed and that will have no result
kick boxing is not self defense it is a sport and there are rules ,in self defense there are no rules u hit everywhere u can with every part of the body u can.A martial art which is done for self defense can't rely on kicks, kicks are good I use them too but u can't kick the whole time so I don't think that either kick boxing is a self defense martial art or taekwondo can be good for street fighting
@GiantPlumCake Sure, cupcake.. I bet your dad can beat up my dad too, huh? I brought up my point because he does not look balanced and I would like to see what happens when this kick connects with something.
I am doing kick boxing and self defense and I am sure I can give this guy a beating . Also he should kick the (lets call it) bag not higher , if he kicks higher than my head he will probably do no damage and also those techniques are not good when fighting someone they are just good for taekwondo not in real street fights
Um, facts: Kick boxing and self defence? Kick boxing is a form of self defence already. Proves something about that bs you're telling people here. Seeing a few kicks doesn't mean it's all they do in TKD. TKD is made to be effective in the streets too, that's it's origin, tho. And that kick is too high because it trains your kick control better and not everyone's the same height as the dummy is. You may encounter taller people. Get your facts straight before you say anything.
OmG. this is for both of you.. Irony, sarcasm, satire indicate mockery of something or someone. The essential feature of irony is the indirect presentation of a contradiction between an action or expression and the context in which it occurs. In the figure of speech, emphasis is placed on the opposition between the literal and intended meaning of a statement; one thing is said and its opposite implied. i can also do superman punches from half way across the gym and i hit him every time.heh
he did`nt hit that dummy ones.. me on the other hand get our dummy every single time.. have never missed...heh.. usally i just deliver some hard livershots and a straight right, right to the nose..
and i wasn't even irony when i think about it.. just a jOke!! you should not be calling people idiots before you learn that the chance of someone bragging about being able to hit a dummy is prob. not being serious.. this kid can OBVIOUSLY hit the dummy if he wanted to..

***** How exactly should you position the foot?
Wow! You are so talented!!
I wish I could properly do this again...I'm going back to the basics after my injury...thank you for posting these
I hope you are all better now.
Wow...it is so difficult for me who learned taewondo for 2 months...however,i will learn patiently so that i can kick
wow this dude made my day wow i was thinking i got fat after i gave up tkd now im considering going back to it gosh !

such speed and power.... hope i'll learn how to do this kick one day....

really good
i love this kicks

Real, he's too awesome to not do this one.
Awesome warrior
I'm surprised he has that much speed with the weight he's carrying. Not that i'm trying to be offensive or anything, just very impressed.
Awesome kick man !
pause the video at 0.24 seconds that is a beautiful kick
@JohnnyxCash hey thanks for your comment, well im gonna try it turning the shoulder first, but theres anyway to keep balance, cuz every time i low my upper body i lost balance and almost end on the floor xD, also yea merry x-max man
I always admire Koreans in terms of kicking fluidity, and at the same time I always laugh while seeing Westerners kick.
good posture, it's easy to lose balance with reverse kicks
@00wn3d its funny because the weight carries the power...I know, im about 245lbs. And that faster i plul this kick out, the more devastating it is...The key is always speed though..this kid is quick...so with the snap at the end, easy KO...and by snap, i mean the last little extension of the hip, not from the knee down to the foot...but the whipping from hip to foot...
Like stepping forward hug his back and knee strike his balls. nice demo
Depending on the situation and the fighters.
@MrEran1996 i been training kicks since the last 3 months, such as flexibilitie , im arround 20 cms of the floor on my side splits, i can do a side kick at the same heigth of my head, (gotta warm up first cuz its kinda hard), been practise this kick and i cannot do it higher than my chest ( on normal standing position), i am not sure what's wrong with it. do you know ?
Waooooo I also from taekwondo
Good thing I am not that tall so I could duck out this kick and counter with muuultiple choices that muay thai has taught me, does Taekwondo even involve punches?
Nice kicks
@Elm8n to be truthful i'm a black belt in taekwondo and all i can say is dang this guy got kicks
@JohnnyxCash the kicking leg shoulder ?
@BanglishBoy I don't get u, what do u mean?
It's magic
It's called getting higher kicks to improve the kicks themselves
Here's my only problem with this video...too many of us TKD artists kick too high... You must be on target! Beautiful kicks oly work in demo....and you have those kicks... But when it calls for it, be on target, that's what self defense is all about.

I appreciate your comments.
damn he can kick high O_O
Question, You're a blackbelt, What martial arts do you do and what Dam are you? aswell as where did you learn spinning back hook?
@DAMAROQUENGA LOL true...
@billsemail i learnt that in 3 months ..
then use it as a counter, not an attack. Always hits that way
keep practicing, eventually you'll master the technique
@Ankoku15 Im pretty sure that that kid could destroy you in a fight, and i think i would do the same.
why should he be able to kick that high I am also a high kicker but I never try to kick higher than the top of the target .Also when fighting he may kick higher than needed and that will have no result
i was just thinking "damn all these TKD guys do high kicks. it's almost like you know what to expect against someone. arent there any low kicks?
Sensei says to use this as a reciving kick
@CCDAZEoner Lmao, I believe you misunderstood what the word "demo" means. ^_^
What is so exceptional?
Ha nice
@GreatDane1992 I'm starting to doubt that you even take martial arts.. lol
@3terminatorgr Put your ego in check.
How do u NOT fall?
I wish I had half of that flexibility!
Only problem is he's not looking where he's kicking. Kicking blindly is improper technique. If your opponent moves you're done.
wat if my opponent have leg and he'll kick my butt while im trying to turn :(
5 long years to perfect that kick I'm sure
this is fast.high. i guess you hardly would see it coming at you...and if you do ...it is probably too late.
mahabub hassan
kick boxing is not self defense it is a sport and there are rules ,in self defense there are no rules u hit everywhere u can with every part of the body u can.A martial art which is done for self defense can't rely on kicks, kicks are good I use them too but u can't kick the whole time so I don't think that either kick boxing is a self defense martial art or taekwondo can be good for street fighting
what if my opponent has arms?
@An0niempje i think he does that on purpose lol
Without shoes, wouldn't this just be like a really hard slap?
i think that guy can beat the fuck out of me =)
sammo hung replacement
@GiantPlumCake Sure, cupcake.. I bet your dad can beat up my dad too, huh?
I brought up my point because he does not look balanced and I would like to see what happens when this kick connects with something.
머리가 안돌아가잖니 얘야. 먼저 머리를 돌려서 상대에게 시선고정.
He can kick slender.
must feel nice to kick a buddy in his forehead
I couldn't do this
Boyka is the most complet fighter in thye world ;)
solo esa patada? eso no devuelve el golpe!!!
HEADSHOT
I am doing kick boxing and self defense and I am sure I can give this guy a beating . Also he should kick the (lets call it) bag not higher , if he kicks higher than my head he will probably do no damage and also those techniques are not good when fighting someone they are just good for taekwondo not in real street fights
hey @ksero1000 :)
Fucked up
enough with the star trek demo.
But fast
Actually he missed the target 2 times x)
He said he's not 2 meters tall.
0:16 missed 0:23 missed 0:30 missed 0:36 missed. im not scared
He forgot to put his elbows in
Someone should tell him that he missed the dummy!
Dang. He missed all of em
Um, facts: Kick boxing and self defence? Kick boxing is a form of self defence already. Proves something about that bs you're telling people here.

@MultiFenomenal ahahahah funny joke

Ewww sounds like a case of self hate here. Yikes.
OmG. this is for both of you..
