Round Kick
There are 2 types of round kicks Tae Kwon Do practitioners use. The first is the speed kick which is most effectively used in tournament sparring. This kick usually comes off the ground at only a slight angle (making it look more like a modified front kick). Contact is made by slapping with the top of the foot. The second type is the power kick. This kick is loaded from the side and brought around to strike to opponent with greater force. This type utilizes the snapping of the hips to create that added power, and contact is made with the ball of the foot.
