Kicking

Foot attack techniques are all kicks, and are are divided into four categories:

Piercing kicks (Cha jirugi)

Smashing kicks (Cha busigi)

Other kicks

Flying kicks (Twimyo chagi)

Flying kicks are variations of the other types of kicks, performed while both feet are off the ground, and can be both spectacular to behold and devastating. They can be used to close the distance to an opponent, evade attacks, or attack high targets.

Ground Techniques (Noowo bal gisoo)

Ground techniques are the application of kicking techniques while on the ground, useful after having been knocked over or surprised while lying down.
