Taekwondo Full Roundhouse Kick Tutorial (Kwonkicker)

This is a detailed Taekwondo Kickboxing tutorial for the "Full Roundhouse Kick" (not to be confused with the linear "Round Kick/Roundhouse Kick"), effective in Kickboxing, MMA & Olympic style competition. This kick is also referred to as the "Circular Round Kick" or "Circular Turning Kick" (and others).

See world famous South Korean Taekwondo Master, Sang H. Kim, performing this variation of the roundhouse kick in this video:

A: You can buy a Body Opponent Bag (B.O.B.) by going here:

Q: What is in the base of the B.O.B./Bag?
A: It is filled with around 270lbs of all-purpose sand.

Q: What stretches are best for this kick?
A: This kick requires both moderate-to-high front & side split flexibility in order to perform it effectively.

Q: If you hit a target with this kick, how do you go all the way through back to where you start? Wouldn't the body stop the kick before you can bring it all the way back around?
A: Yes, and you can see in the video that when I make contact with a solid target my kick will bounce off back into stance. But, I want to throw my kick so that if my opponent suddenly dodges it and I miss completely, that I will kick smoothly back into place instead of throwing myself off balance with my missed kick. The key is not only to train to hit your target, but also to train for when you miss your target. That way you can maintain your balance in either circumstance.

can you use the instep for the head when you use this kick?

[kwonkicker]

@shotokankaratedude89 Yes, you can use the instep when going for the head (the larger upper half of your instep near your ankle joint). As always, make sure you condition both your insteps and shins on a hard heavy bag. You can use the instep for longer range kicks to the head, and the shin for closer range kicks to the body and legs, etc. Experiment slowly and find out what works best for you.

Really awesome video. This tutorial, your explanation and all your camerawork/angles/slomo was absolutely pivotal in creating my animation. Thank you.

[TaekwonHeadHunter]

Good video :), I hope I can be as famous on Youtube as you someday :)

useful! thanks!

I know this is a basic question but I've never really found an answer. What stretching do you do to help you raise your leg higher?

Thanks Jack

Excellent video and well explained. I practice muay thai and find the technique you use is very similar to that i am taught. I can throw reasonable round house kicks to the body but struggle with head kicks getting the height. I find when i turn my knee past the target that it is to low to let the kick go to the head, this may be a flexibility issue or do i need to angle my knee in a different position as so when i turn through the kick i get a greater height / reach?

3:05 yeshhhhhh

everytime I do a roundhouse or round kick I lean to the side instead of back, unless its a front leg round kick then I lean back, I do slow kicks all the time and kick against walls to prevent myself from leaning side, this ruins my kicking angle and I really want it to stop.

@puredarkJ Cortical Remodeling, its going to hurt like hell at first, but you'll get use to it.
