Adding Sang Dahn to a kick name makes it a high level (head level) kick.


The Korean kicking terms should be learned by orange or green belt.

If you examine the terms closely you will see that the sounds/words learned from one kick are very similar to the others.

For example:
If you look at “Heel Straight Up Outside Down Kick,” you will see that it starts with the sounds/word “Duee Kum Chee,” meaning “heel.” Any kick with the word “heel” in it will also use the same “Duee Kum Chee.”

Tips:
Cha Gee - Kick
Duee Kum Chee - Heel
​Jok Do – Knife Edge
Ahn – Inside
Bah Gat - Outside
Dah Ree - Leg
Moo Rup - Knee

Dol Ryuh - Round or Circle
Mee Tu Ro - Down

​Students should be reminded that Korean terms contained here may be spelled many different ways depending on the author. Our spelling is based on phonetic pronunciation rather than on any previously accepted spelling.
