Beginner Tae Kwon Do Techniques : Tae Kwon Do Flying Front Snap Kick

[usernamejoshS]

this move would be a good follow up to the spinning back kick, since the spinning kick will push your opponent, whether or not it does damage, you've still created space for this kick technique, and momentum.

[kimkrokus]

okay, i just decided that i want to start learning Tae Kwon Do!

[namagueinef]

As a beginner white belt, I still need to practice this thousands of time because today, when Sabeum asked me to try fly kick for the first time, I jumped and fell, my back hit the ground:(

[TuskanyTV]

i didnt see nun wrong wid the kick ppl its just the BASICS cant chu read chill wid the expert attitude

[PleaseUntieMe]

I hate it when people who know nothing about Taekwondo seem to critique it the most.

[jdpollard23]

that was awesome

[Wooho100]

tssss

[SpaceClouds134]

i think he's pretty good. besides he wouldnt be his rank without skill right?

[ironintel]

another white trash

[swarrior80]

@ironintel think you can do better post a video response

[VitoATF]

give the guy a break. he's pretty good

[Sabumnimgeh]

It's to easy to pick holes in peoples tech! Maybe we all need to learn a bit of Courtesy!

[jaimemr2]

he cant balance

[erniyo112]

"Taekwando"

[MostRandomVids856]

Wow he is the worst Has he even learned how to keep his hands up

[123456789mischief]

its a traditional technique in tae kwon do after they do a kick in drills they do a double block to the side. He's ITF sp if he was actualy spaariring or fighting he would not drop his hands. if your familiar with martial arts at all you will see in most arts they have traditional techniques that develop a stregnth but are not meant to be used in a practical situation.

[jckskeltonHACK]

lol thats a black belt, im 17 and a can kick better than that( and im a black belt in tang soo do)

[Memoe305]

respect ur seniors

[jckskeltonHACK]

idr what i said?

[stevenstephens]

hell yea dude tang soo do FTW!

[xFooshes]

this dude is dumb...jump kick...look it up

[MadeInBGR]

Aaron, after so many years and VII dan you should know that the kick should be going forward, not upward...

[rjMcGough]

this is fly high kick not snap!

[staunchmike]

this is the very reason TKD is not so great. jumping kick with ZERO guard up. awsome way to get smoked. i love how he is focused with points. yay for scoring points with our hands down at our hips!

[xXjOmAmMaXx]

this guy is the worst tkd athlete i have seen. dont base your opinion off of a shitty representation

[robisgangsta1]

ya lol to me u have to have ur guards up if u do dat with tkd u own. and kung fu :D

[Vurt96]

i've been taking tkd for 5 years and i just want you to know that you shouldn't break with the instep of your toes because that can hurt like hell! And by "SIS" sound idk if you mean keeya (or however it's spelled) that's translated into spirit shout or something like that. When you get punched you can keeya so the air comes right out of your body and you don't feel a thing =D

[staunchmike]

"When you get punched you can keeya so the air comes right out of your body and you don't feel a thing =D "

realy? bro if you beleive that then you are training at a McDojo and you are paying good money for a shitty McBlackbelt.

[xXjOmAmMaXx]

lol. WTF is a keeya? the word is kihap 기합. retarded american tkd spelling.... goes to show you how americanized shit is in essence shit itself ^^

[bahmand]

lol

[DeadManWalking669]

man, i only make the "SIS" sound when i'm like really tired and for some reason it helpes

dont know why you do it then =\

[arasten]

exhailing gives you more power that's why they exhail when they punch or kick and also when lifting weights.

[DeadManWalking669]

yeah i know i do it when training

BUT

his showing us, and we wouldn't be able to tell how much power his putting into it with or without the SIS lol

[searock1988]

zsssssemmhh

[comebackata2]

hey when you do this kick do you hit the target with your instep? We're breaking a board with this kick and I'm quite nervous that I can't break it infront of hundreds of people ... how hard is the board anyway? I'm not sure whether to hit with the instep or the part of the foot below the toes

[JasloMilwaukee]

I you're breaking a wooden board, you have nothing to fear because they are very forgiving and break wherever you hit them. Plastic boards require good aim, but hit the center and you will be fine. Whatever you do, don't hit with the instep. You have to point your toes far upward and hit with the ball of your foot, but be careful not to kill your toes :). I've been in TKD 3 years now, and that kick is still my favorite boardbreak.

[CASteel1]

If the board is low then you do use your instep. If the board is chin level or higher then your use your ball of foot with the toes pulled back.

So for jumping front kick it will all depend on how high you jump and how high the holder is holding the board.

[Leonedus]

You know, that kick would be obliterated by anyone with common sense. Simply sidestep and nada chagi the crap out of them. That kick is for demonstrations, definitely not for sparring.

[sparwood8]

From ringside it looks easy, but that kick would get ya... quite fast.

As a beginer though, I would rather get REAL good at blocking whatever comes at me, and learn just 2 punches, one kick.. then go from there. (Hard blocks can hurt ya)

[mediatapwater]

did he really find it necessary to add the 'zsse' sound

[stifla23]

xDD

[rollec2k5]

some belts are more black than others...

[rollec2k5]

Exactly, too selfconfident but ... i see no technique... poor show... so the vid gets a big LOL

[shinzodark]

while u punch or kick u need to breathe

[mrjost55]

This guy seems like a moron wannabe. I'm learning from a legitimate Korean master in TaeKwonDo who barely speaks English and was about to be on the Olympic Demo team for S.Korea but was sent to the states by his master. Now that's authenticity. And he's fucking amazing at every kick.

[Avrulaa]

This is like the Back leg front kick in Police-Kung fu

[gr8jox]

i have acctually no idea but isnt it better 2 kick with the right foot?

[pseydo]

you learn to kick with both feet

if you are right handed then I think the kick would be more powerful with the right foot

[coolfirepwnz]

not necessarily, but i think that you'd have better form when kicking with your "good" leg.

[Mufofu92]

Try and kick a football (soccer ones) If it feels right to kick with your right foot, then your strongest leg is the left one :)

[gr8jox]

oh i havnt thinked about that b fore but yeah it rly is

[AsianFeUd]

No offence but dont judge him ok. Like he's right infront of the camera..

[kukuri18]

we malos, que el sonido que uno emite ayuda a desprender mas la fuerza de la tecnica que realices...yo hago aikido tambien nos exigen aspirar y luego soltarlo haciendo **cierto sonido*** creoq ue es normal...ya dejen de pensar cosas que no son wee

[hengaaronimo]

What's with the ssss noise? Trying to make your kicks more impressing by making the sound?

[7516wally]

ya...

[Trien07]

tsssssss tssssssss, he is like Jedi

[JSF122386]

i'm workin on 7 kup man

[TKDgirLo5]

this guy doesn't have speed and power in his kiks which makes him look lame

[Sergioes]

hahaha thats the worst timinopi apchagui ive seen. ATA and all that spupid US TKD styles can suck my dick. Anyway, do you really think that you can lern something seeing this crapy and geek video hahahaha you people are very stupid now I can see why you have that fucking president and those wars

[hippo568]

I don't think he knows his left and right too well

[upchuck001]

He's mirroring it for the benefit of the students. Lots of TKD instructors do that. I wish they wouldn't though, it confuses me more than helps.

[TheLaserMaster]

no offense to him but this guy isn't all that great.

[igetmymailss]

youre right.. this guy really does suck..

[minhyangie]

This looks fun.

-is an amateur- ;D

[Thorolf9]

this kick is fun and pretty easy to learn as long as you can jump

[iwubwaffles]

One of the faults in TKD is shown there; This idiot doesn't even have his arms to be ready to block. Concidering that he is a black belt and all , pretty serious mistake or he got taught that way.

I've been taught that kick without the front step but each have their methods...

[bluebangas]

im not sure that guy is a master like im 14 blue belt and i can do it better

[M2MStudios]

lol I'm 14 and a red belt and I can do it better too. He needs to point his foot more while bending his toes back. His toes are fine. I take under ITF and it's amazing.

[upchuck001]

I think it's a teacher/style issue. An ATA teacher once told me to use my arms as needed to keep balance. The instructor I have now tells his students to keep the hands in a ready position throughout the kick.

[Harryofthewars]

Hissing is Common, And This Is Just An Average Jump Front.. Hah, WhiteBelt Kick..

[dark456789]

and he is stupid u dont get more points for doing jumping kicks this guy is retarded

[aqa2]

so true lol

[aqa2]

so true lol

[aqa2]

so true lol

[aqa2]

so true lol

[IsawaMitaka]

Look up the rules for ITF and WTF competition. They're available online.

He's got it right. Aerial kicks get you more points, with the highest scoring being an aerial kick to the head.

[weztkd1066]

wow thats a hard kick

i prefer the easy method just jump and kick thats not a flying kick the flying side kick is more of a fly than that but that is not a fly kick its a jump front kick the easest kick in all martial arts

[TennisShreder]

i think hes got the left andright legs wrong because he is mirroring it for the viewers, only plausible explanation lol. this dudes not bad, he isnt the best but hes pretty good

[Josh3992]

does he not know where right and left are?

[practicaltaekwondo]

He's doing it to the camera so that the person trying it finds it easier. It's a common teaching method.

[mierdacarajoputamare]

so stupid

[gandalfnco]

it's called a jumping front kick and you're not supposed to step first...

looks like his flexibility is garbage

all these videos of his are garbage

[practicaltaekwondo]

There are no absolutes when it comes to naming techniques. The ITF/Chang Hon Outward Inner Forearm Block is also called the Inner Block in the WTF.

[practicaltaekwondo]

Sorry, meant to say 'Inside Block'.

[slanahesh]

what hes trying to teach here, is whats known in itf tkd as a hitching kick (the person who told him flying front kcik should be flogged), similar to a scissor kick. the "tsst" sound is his own personal breath control which some people use instead of kihap to get more power into their attacks

[moviekingg]

whats that gay tst when he kicks

[moviekingg]

I'm a teacher as well as this dork. That is a jump kick. He is probably just a want a be. If you look in the background you will see posters. But they are ceremonial japenese tyki dance banners. He's no teacher

[WhiteNugz]

you are a terrible tae kwon do instructor. all your students are going to get their ass beaten in sparring matches. thats not a fly kick you ass, thats a jump kick. and whats with the TSSSS sound when you do a gay kick.

[saucyrory]

stupid yank

[PtolemyBlack01]

this is horrible... and its just a plain cross front kick... lol get your termonology right next time...and im a 2nd degree...in a flying kick you dont switch legs..you use the momentum of the jump...

[xtcdragon604]

seriously they sure do give out black belts easy that had horrible form

[weztkd1066]

your from the itf arnt you

i come from the wtf

[muaythaikickboxah]

this guys a homo

[shoelacezebra]

thank you

[Cl0ud7777]

lol
