Tae Kwon Do Round Kick

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Caleb Labarda, I'm a third degree black belt, Tae Kwon Do, and I?m here with Expert Village. And, today I'm going to be teaching you how to do a five - forty. Now, the second important kick that we're going to be using today is going to be a round kick, o.k., or sometimes you refer it as a round house kick, o.k. It comes from here, we're going to do it from the back, you're going to come all the way around, pick up your leg and kick to the front. O.k. that's going to be our round kick or round house kick, but today, I like to call it a round kick. So, here, kick and back around. Okay. Now, you have to be able to do this kick, you should be advanced at it before trying this five - forty, o.k. So, sometimes, instead of doing a crescent kick in the five - forty, we'll do a round kick, which makes it go faster and a little bit more powerful. Okay, so once again, get that kick up, I would practice on the bags, hit some paddle bags, or some just good punching bags, do some round kicks. Make sure you pivot your bottom foot, come around, round kick, all the way back around. One more time, from here, guards up, round kick, all the way back around. Stand and guards up, o.k. And then when you do it practice kicking and putting it in front of you, o.k. So, here, spin, round kick and down. Look at your target, o.k. One more time, round kick, and down. Good! Just like that. O.k. That's going to be a round kick."
