In Taekwondo, you will have to utilize combinations to compete against advanced fighters. One potent combination is an advanced three-kick combo. The first kick makes your opponent react which opens him up so that the next two kicks make solid contact.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Crescent kick to lift your opponent's block. The intent of your crescent kick to draw a reaction from your opponent rather than land a clean hit. Ideally, your opponent will block his upper body with his hands, which will set up your side-piercing kicks. Sell the crescent kick or else your opponent will know what's coming.

  2. Step 2

    Use the momentum from the crescent kick to rotate, so that you can point your kicking shoulder at your opponent. If you kick with your left leg, your crescent kick should swing from outside of the left of your body to across your body moving right. Use the momentum to pivot 90 degrees.

  3. Step 3

    After you rotate, keep your foot up to throw a quick, side-piercing kick to your opponent's body. Aim for solid contact on this kick, but keep your balance and snap your leg back quickly so you are in position for you next kick. Don't let your foot touch the ground after the kick.

  4. Step 4

    Kick with another side-piercing kick without letting your foot touch the ground. This side-piercing kick can be a little higher because your opponent has probably dropped his block in reaction to your first side kick. Focus on power to make this kick count.

  5. Step 5

    Return to your normal fighting stance. The whole combo should be instantaneous. After your combo, rotate back around quickly, return to an open fighting stance and prepare for your opponent to counterattack or to attack again.
