Question

Should you always hit your opponent with your heel?

Community Answer

No, the back of your feet can also deliver fast damage. Heels will generate more damage, though.

Question

How do I do the kicks properly?

Community Answer

You have to use your hips to "control" your legs. Adjust your position if you need to, and put weight on your standing foot.

Question

How do you kick higher?

Community Answer

Exercise your legs regularly, squats are perfect. The human body is not designed for our legs to extend that high, so strength is necessary to fight gravity and retain enough momentum to harm your opponent. Stretches are important, of course, to avoid injury.

Question

What should do if my opponent is stronger

Community Answer

Avoid the fight. This is most basic strategy of fighting. If you can't, try to make your opponent angry. They will give you more powerful attacks, but it will travel long distance and you can easily counter the punch and KO your opponent by delivering one hard shot on a pressure point.

Question

Will taekwondo schools in Korea teach me using the American style colored belt system?

Community Answer

Most likely not, seeing as you're in Korea, where the sport originated, I'm sure they would use the original colors. I'm pretty sure they would have American-system taught dojos, though.

Turn your head before actually kicking - it will help you spot before your execution of the kicks.

Question

How can I do back kicks simultaneously?

Alicejj2020

Community Answer

Practice doing a back kick, and soon you won't have to think much about doing one, like in sparring. Start slowly, then build up your speed and endurance.

Question

Is there a really fast kick?

Gabriel Reich-Grant

Community Answer

A tornado kick, a kick where your body turns a full 360 degrees, is a kick that must be executed quickly and properly to be efficient in a fight. It takes a lot of skill and practice to be able to do this kick.
