Обзор

The Downward Roundhouse Kick is a roundhouse kick that travels in a high-to-low descending arc, striking the target from above. [1] The leg chambers high and the shin or instep drops downward onto the target — typically the collarbone, shoulder, or side of the neck. [1] This trajectory reverses the typical roundhouse path and catches defenders who expect horizontal attacks, making it effective against opponents with high guard positions. [1]

Что говорят инструкторы

The downward roundhouse kick is an inverted variation of the standard roundhouse kick used in Taekwondo competition. As described by TN Aeon Martial Arts, the technique involves raising the knee and rotating the hip and knee in the opposite direction from a conventional roundhouse kick, striking with the instep toward the opponent's torso. Donato Nardizzi distinguishes between two related but separate kicks: the downward kick, which uses the heel and curves in an arc (inward or outward) to clear obstacles like the opponent's arm, targeting primarily the head and clavicle above the solar plexus; and the pick shape kick, which moves vertically without an arc and can strike with either the heel (keeping the leg straight for skull and clavicle targets) or the ball of the foot (with slight knee bend for face and jaw targets). TN Aeon emphasizes practical fight applications including clinch entries, double-tap combinations, and fakes to set up opposite-side strikes. Nardizzi provides historical context, noting the pick shape kick's introduction in the early 1980s as an ITF innovation distinct from the WTF axe kick, and corrects common misconceptions about knee bend requirements based on direct instruction from General Choi. Both instructors stress the importance of proper trajectory and target selection for maximum power and effectiveness.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

What are the main targets for a downward roundhouse kick?

The primary targets are the face, with the jaw and temple as secondary targets. According to Donato Nardizzi, the specific contact point depends on your target: use the heel with a straight leg to hit the skull or clavicle, and use the ball of the foot with a bent knee to hit the face or chest.

Should I bend my knee when executing a downward roundhouse kick with the ball of the foot?

Yes, when using the ball of the foot, the leg should be bent at impact so the ball makes better contact and the kick accelerates more sharply, according to Donato Nardizzi's analysis of traditional technique.

Does lifting my supporting foot help with the downward roundhouse kick?

Yes, lifting the supporting foot off the ground when raising the leg helps you gain more height, as noted by Donato Nardizzi.
