Foot techniques

Joomuk designe le poing. En taekwon-Do on précise quelle partie du poing on utilise pour chaque technique.

Exemple : pour un coup de poing direct, on utilise l’avant du poing soit “Ap Joomuk” : “Ap” = “Avant”, “Joomuk”. = “Poing”.

Il ne fait pas confonde le fait de frapper avec le poing “Joomuk”, de la frappe directe “Jirugi”. Jirugi”, ne veut pas dire coup de poing !

Dolyo Chagi (돌려 차기) is a spinning kick It is used to strike the sides of the body or the head.

When performing it in the air or in tuls, the front part of the sole of the foot is used, called the “ball of the foot”.

However, in sparring, the top of the foot is used to avoid injuring your partner.

How to perform the kick:

  • The knee rises forward first.
  • The supporting foot turns on the ball of the foot.
  • The body turns at the same time as the foot.
  • Strike firmly to the side, not upward.
  • The leg returns quickly after the strike.
  • Keep your hands in a guard position.

Apcha Olligi (앞차 올리기), is an upward kick performed with a straight leg.

It is mainly used for warming up or to improve flexibility.

It is important to do this kick only after you are thoroughly warmed up.

How to perform the kick:

  • The leg extends straight forward.
  • Aim to kick as high as possible while remaining upright.
  • Do not lean forward during the kick.
  • Keep your body facing forward.
  • Keep your hands in a guard position.

The side piercing kick, Yopcha Jirugi (옆차 지르기), is a side kick. You strike with the outer edge of the heel.

It is used to push back or strike an opponent who is positioned to the side or slightly in front.

This technique relies on a strong hip thrust and a direct extension of the leg to generate maximum power.

Technical rules:

  • First, bring the knee toward the chest in a bent position.
  • The body rotates sideways before extending.
  • The leg strikes directly straight at the target.
  • You touch with the edge of your heel.
  • The body remains upright and stable throughout the movement.
  • The hands remain in a guard or ready position.
