The double turning kick technique

The double turning kick is one effective technique that allows the player to score twice fast or if not in the case that the first attack is missed, it allows another attack to gain point. In short a double turning allows a player to gain points fast at the right timing. It is also a technique to deter the opponent from countering easily.

The double turning technique can first be trained in doing single turning kicks to get the momentum. To start off, first the player can do a single turning kick and this time round hold the knee up after kicking and after that perform another turning kick using the other leg. After the second kick is performed, continue to hold the knee up.

Continue doing this exercise for several times and ensure that each turning kick is done properly. The main thing about this exercise is to feel that the hip should go in and that a double turning kick is actually two single turning kicks without landing after the first kick.

After this exercise, perform a double turning kick to get the feel of the proper technique.

The martial aspect of Taekwondo

This video features the martial arts aspect of Taekwondo instead of the sport aspect. Even though the skills acquired from training the sport could be applied in martial art aspect but the training sometimes lack the focus of other important techniques such as

punching, back fist and palm strike. In this video it even show that the knee is used in Taekwondo which often in sport Taekwondo it is not.

The whole video shows that Taekwondo martial art really shows the way of the hand and the feet which in real situation all of these can be utilised and not just the kicking techniques.

Taekwondo academy in the park

For all Taekwondo practitioners and those who are interested in Taekwondo, there will now be a Taekwondo Academy known as World Taekwondo Academy at the Taekwondo Park. Taekwondo Park is a project where its purpose to share with the rest of the world what Taekwondo is about and it is also in a way a tourist attraction. 

Now in Taekwondo Park itself, besides the place for people to train, to have fun, there is like another purpose which is to share its knowledge and have the academy to serve as an international academic center of the WTF for studies, education and research of taekwondo.

This to me seems like another agenda which is to maintain the place as an Olympic official sport. But besides the fact that it is for the sport, the park and academy probably are built to maintain the culture and the art aspect.
