In this lesson you will learn how to do multiple sidekicks. That's when you keep your knee lifted and perform 2 or more sidekicks in a row without putting the kicking leg back to the floor between the kicks. From the position where the knee is up, you can also do other tae kwon do kicks (for example front kicks). Before you learn how to do multiple sidekicks, you have to learn how to do a single sidekick. Find other taekwondo kicks at taekwondo main.
Description: Multiple Side Kicks - Tae Kwon Do
Lift your right knee slightly above hip height and twist on the ball of your left foot counterclockwise, so that the toes point slightly backwards. For more information on how to do a normal sidekick, visit the sidekick tutorial.
Thrust out your right foot and pull it back fast. The position before the kick has to be exactly the same as the position after the kick. When you first learn how to do multiple sidekicks, start with a low kick to knee height and follow with higher ones. Concentrate on the position where the knee is lifted. At the beginning you should try to hold this position a bit longer. (That's the key) For more information on how to perform a sidekick, please visit the normal sidekick tutorial.
Perform another sidekick and go back to the position where the knee is lifted.
Perform a third sidekick and again go back to the position where the knee is lifted. Never put your foot down between the kicks. At the beginning you can hold on to something with one hand so that the sidekicks are easier to balance.
When you learn this, it's enough to perform 3 sidekicks in a row. Try to hold the position where the knee is lifted for a long time. Of course, you can also keep going with more sidekicks, front kicks, etc., or just go back to your fighting stance after your third kick. See normal sidekick tutorial.
Trainer advice: Multiple Side Kicks - Tae Kwon Do
If this is very difficult at the beginning, kick 3 times to knee height.
Try to do 3 sidekicks in a row in slow motion. If you can balance it when you kick slowly, you can also balance it when you kick fast.
Another exercise: Lift your knee and breathe 2 times. Kick, pull the foot back and breathe 2 times again. Do approximately 10 repetitions before you put your foot back down.
