Taekwondo Strikes
( 치기 chigi )

 



Various surfaces of the hand ( 손 son ) may be engaged as the striking surface depending on which area of the opponents body is being targeted. Striking ( 치기 chigi ) are taekwondo techniques striking with the twisting force of the body excluding techniques using the fist ( 주먹 jumeok ) or fingertips ( 손끝 sonkkeut ). Thrusting ( 찌르기 Jjireugi ) are techniques striking with the fingertips ( 손끝 sonkkeut ). Chopping ( 찍기 Jjikgi ) are techniques striking with curled fingers. This leads to a large array of hand positions and taekwondo also makes use of reverse and front elbow strikes ( 팔굽 치기 palgup-chigi ). Strikers generally exhale as the strike nears the target. Breath control is also important to relax the body when not attacking; novice strikers often waste significant energy because they are tense at inappropriate times.

Question. What is the name of Taegeuk #5 in Korean?

Taegeuk 태극 (in World Taekwondo (WT)) refers to a set of poomse 품새 used to create a foundation for the teaching of taekwondo. A poomse or form is a detailed pattern of defense-and-attack motions and techniques used in traditional martial arts. Each taegeuk form symbolizes a specific state thought to be indicative of the belt the student currently holds, and is represented in World Taekwondo (WT) by trigrams similar to those found in the four corners of the South Korean flag.



Question. What is the korean terminology for Kicking?

A kick is a physical strike using the foot, leg, or knee. As the human leg is longer and stronger than the arm, kicks are generally used to keep an opponent at a distance, surprise him or her with their range, and inflict substantial damage. All kicks can be executed as jump kicks, spin kicks, jump spin kicks or multi-rotational spin kicks. Also, all can be performed by the front or rear leg in a given stance.
