Types of Kicks

 

Ground Kicks

Floor kicks are executed while the body is lying on the ground.

Air Kicks

Air kicks are performed while in the air. They are not jump kicks; they are merely performed while the non-kicking foot is off the floor.

Drop Kicks

Dropping kicks are executed while in the process of dropping the body to the floor. Usually done with one or two hands on the floor. Most kicks may be adapted to use while dropping.

Rising Kicks

Kicks where the leg is swung upward and then downward, such as the crescent kick and the axe kick.

Flick Kicks

Kicks where the foot is flicked upward to the groin or knee.

Turnover Kicks

Kicks used when one of your feet is grabbed and held by your opponent. You leap into the air, rotate over and around the held foot, and execute a kick with the free foot.

Stomp Kicks

Downward kicks to the knees, shins, foot, or a prone opponent.

Check or Stop Kicks

Kicks used to jam, check, or intercept an attacking kick before it is executed. May be used to stop the forward motion of an attacker.
