This is a detailed Taekwondo Kickboxing tutorial for the "Full Roundhouse Kick" (not to be confused with the basic "Round Kick/Roundhouse Kick"), effective in Kickboxing, MMA & Olympic style competition. See world famous South Korean Taekwondo Master, Sang H. Kim, performing this variation of the roundhouse kick in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKqoWwa3kcI FAQs: Q: Where can I buy one of those kicking dummies? A: You can buy a Body Opponent Bag (B.O.B.) by going here: http://www.centurymartialarts.com/Training_Bags/Body_Opponent_Bag.aspx?pmc=Aff-MBK Q: What is in the base of the B.O.B./Bag? A: It is filled with around 270lbs of all-purpose sand. Q: What stretches are best for this kick? A: This kick requires both moderate-to-high front & side split flexibility in order to perform it effectively. Q: If you hit a target with this kick, how do you go all the way through back to where you start? Wouldn't the body stop the kick before you can bring it all the way back around? A: Yes, and you can see in the video that when I make contact with a solid target my kick will bounce off back into stance. But, I want to throw my kick so that if my opponent suddenly dodges it and I miss completely, that I will kick smoothly back into place instead of throwing myself off balance with my missed kick. The key is not only to train to hit your target, but also to train for when you miss your target. That way you can maintain your balance in either circumstance.
