In this video I show you how to perform a Side Piercing Kick and suggest some exercises to help strengthen and coordinate the muscles used for the kick. I also show you how to adopt a Bending Ready Stance type A which is the preparatory posture for side kick used in many Taekwon-Do pattterns.

I recognise Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi as the true authority on Taekwon-Do. The information in my tutorial is based on my interpretation of Taekwon-Do as taught to me by the Founder General Choi Hong Hi and as referred to in his book ‘TAEKWON-DO’ (5th Edition 1999) Published by ITF and printed in Canada.
Other Taekwon-Do Masters and Grand Masters may have a different interpretation of Taekwon-Do theory and practice, so if you are a Taekwon-Do student, it is important to check with your instructor if you are not sure about which interpretation you should be following.

mr. donato, your videos have helped me a lot in my taekwondo studies, thanks a lot.

Thank you sir. This is the real side kick. With rotation of the hips. Similar to that of karate. Instead in all the videos of Taekwondo on KZfaq, I only see extension of the leg, without rotation of the hips. Thanks a lot for the lesson

Indeed, it is the real side kick. Practioners of competition sparring tend to just extend the leg because it is quicker and easier to get points, but it is less effective in real defence.

Grand Master, could you explain the difference between Side Kick and Side Piercing Kick? Is it the way the knee moves back and forward before the kick is executed? Thank you, Sir!

@DonatoNardizzi 5 жыл бұрын

According to the Taekwondo encyclopedia there are only 3 types of side kick: Side piercing, side thrusting and side pushing kick. When people say side kick, it usually means side piercing kick. However, many Taekwon-Do practioners commonly do a side that is neither of these three. It looks like a side piercing kick but it is just snapped out with no rotation. It is still a useful and powerful kick. If I were General Choi I would of added this as a 4th type and call it a side snap kick.

Sir, I'm really glad to have found your channel. Do you have any plans to do a video on breathing? (when and how) I'm just returning to training and it's an area I tend to struggle with.

@DonatoNardizzi 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, I plan to do one very soon in my Taekwon-Do Lesson series. I will do a lesson on connecting motion first then I will follow up with another lesson explaining the breath control for normal, fast, slow, continuous and connecting motion.

Quick observation.... I always thought a side piercing kick was similar in motion to a punch? i.e. the twist right at the end of the kick. Bringing the foot up like a front kick before pivoting/ twisting the hips and foot sword close to impact for maximum power. I'm not sure this really shows this technique. Breaking down the technique would help more.

@DonatoNardizzi 5 жыл бұрын

You are right that it is similar to punch. I do mention the twisting action in video. You do bring the leg up similar to a front (hence why we often practice the kick with bending ready stance A). The twist is not all at the end. It starts as you extend and accelerate the kick because you need to pivot the balancing foot as you do this. However, you should try to keep as much twisting as possible at the end. Easier to do with a punch. It also depends on hip flexibilty.

Thanks so much for this Master! A question I had was that I'm also training to do the side piercing kick for power breaking (usually 4-5 thick pieces of wood for blackbelt level) so would you still recommend striking with the same part of the foot, or is striking with the heel better for breaking? Thanks!

@DonatoNardizzi 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Akshay. Yes I would still recommend using the footsword. It is sharper than the heel which means more force is concentrated in a smaller area. The footsword is just as solid as the heel if formed properly because it is the region right next to the heel covering one third of the foot length. If you hit with edge nearer the toes then the tool is weak. I have broken 4/5 wooden boards many times using footsword. Never the heel.

Excellent video Sir! May, I ask, are you aware of the existence of a side snap kick in Tae Kwon Do?

@DonatoNardizzi 3 жыл бұрын

There are only 3 types side listed in the TKD encylopedia. Side snap kick is not one of them. Most students and competitors perform a side kick like a snap kick because getting the rotation for a Side Piercing Kick is quite difficult for many. I have often said that there ought to be 'side snap kick' in TKD. Maybe General Choi had good reason not to include it. My guess is that he found Side Piercing Kick so easy to do, that he didn't need to limit the rotation and do a 'side snap kick'.

@Anton_the_Vampire 3 жыл бұрын

@@DonatoNardizzi thanks sir. So what are the three types that are listed in the Encyclopedia? Side Piercing, Side Pushing, and Jumping Side Kick? The reason I ask is because I'm aware that Shotokan has two variants of side kick; Keage and Kekomi, which is snap and thrust kicks I believe. I was thinking for a sparring situation where destructive power is less important, and maybe the snap would be less easy for an opponent to read.

@DonatoNardizzi 3 жыл бұрын

@@Anton_the_Vampire The 3 types are Side Piercing Kick, Side Pushing Kick and Side Thrusting Kick. I agree that a snap version of a side kick would be better for competition sparring where destructive power is less important.

Can I just ask where is the focus point for side piercing kick?

@DonatoNardizzi 6 жыл бұрын

Not sure I understand what you are asking. If you mean at what point is the moment of impact and maximum power. The answer is just before you extend the leg fully. You need to make contact just before the leg straightens so that the kick penetrates the target. If you mean what part of the foot is used. The answer is the footsword (outer edge of the foot). I hope this answers your question.

Donato Nardizzi because I have a grading and my instructor will ask where the focus points are but thanks anyway

The height categorization does not look beautiful. Therefore, it cannot be correct.

Not sure what you mean by this?

@georgelazarou5937 5 жыл бұрын

@@DonatoNardizzi The classification into high, middle and low is done according to the height of the attacker while kicking as opposed to his standing height. Therefore high and middle are too close together and the resulting 3 classes: high-middle-low are asymmetrical. If there is no symmetry, there is no beauty and it is probably wrong.

@DonatoNardizzi 5 жыл бұрын

@@georgelazarou5937 I see your point. The difference between high and middle is so small that it seems redundant to distinguish between them. It also depends on how far the attacker leans back. You could have the ridiculous situation where an attacker leans back beyond 90 degrees and states that the middle attack is higher than the high attack. Regarding beauty, even stand up height of eyes/shoulders/umbilicus is not symmetrical. But I am just going by what is written in the encyclopedia regarding high/middle and low attacks.
