ROUNDHOUSE KICK
The roundhouse kick is a commonly used technique in martial arts. This kick is especially popular in taekwondo competitions. This fast, powerful technique can be deceptive, and your opponent may have a hard time figuring out where it's going to hit him until it's too late. To perform this kick, lift your leg off the floor and bend your knee. Kick horizontally at your target with your instep or the ball of your foot. Twist your hips and quickly snap your knee to generate power in this technique. This kick is typically delivered to the midsection or head. Raise your knee higher to perform head-level kicks.
