DarklingGlory I'd have to say that the axe kick in TKD sparring is a devastating technique I've seen used to great effect especially at the highest level of TKD sparring... I've seen championships won with it.. its particularly useful when someone tries that switch kicking crap one you (you know switching from one turning kick to the other midair almost), stick a nice fast axe kick in there.. centre parting. And its so versatile, you can change it to snap kick on the way down.. twist into turning/hook/side kicks with lightning speed.. jump into a rear leg jumping turning kick (I've got people with that a few times.. maximum points for a jumping kick to the head). People quite often think they've got you when you do an axekick.. ie wait for it to land and come in.. you can use this to your advantage.. I wouldn't use it in non TKD sparring as its too high but against TKD and non martial artists its great (intimidation value) And not all TKD cant use hands, infact most TKD can.. There is no such thing as too basic for sparring... the best sparring techniques are the basics.. (I was speaking of WTF, not ITF) And if your doing a proper Drop kick, you can't change it to anything else on the way down, that defy's the total move. Bringing it up the new way is knee up to your chest and then leg straight out and down, but if you put your leg out then bring it back in to kick out again, well even in wording that gets confusing, simply a no no. The move you were most likely talking about before was a double Pichagi(45 degree angle kick) and depending on how they preform this technique(moving forward, stationary, backwards, off to a side) the drop kick can work, but its to much of a lucky chance to base a match on. You see a Double Pich comming at you, Back kick. Its the strongest kick in anyones arsenial, not to mention it's pretty fast and accurate, thats why you still see MMA fighters use it, well the Canadians atleast, who have been kicking a** in the UFC.

LivingTribunal EXACTLY! Too many people try and pick specific movements/combos because they look good. The reality is, fighting is not about looking good. It is about being comfortable and using what works for YOU. Very well said 3nodding . I'll admit, I'm very new to the art of Taekwondo, but from what I've experienced with sparring, when someone's coming at you with that much speed, you don't have time to think about "Oh, which one looks more impressive, the double roundhouse or turn around hook?" My point is, it doesn't matter if you hit them with a turning kick or a super duper 540 special wow kick - you're not going to get more points by looking fancy. Or at least that's the impression that I'm getting so far. Tell me if I'm getting it all wrong sweatdrop Personally, I think the best weapon is footwork.

One of the more...interesting...kicks that I've found that works for me (I'm also vertically challenged sweatdrop ) is a 'double kick'. It's basically a jumping front snap kick, you just kick with the leading leg also. There are lots of variations that you can do from it as well.

I`ll tell you some of mine.
1. Let your partner get the first strike but, doge.
2. Let them get them get tiared first.
3. When they strike, doge and strike quickly.
4. Win!
5. Stay, on your toes.

Stay, on your toes. Those are known as Stratagies, not Techniques. Techniques have to do with different kicks or combinations put together to fool or confuse your opponent, or just cause then to get hit instead of you.

Try a double roundhose kick and then dropkick! Try one step fast! Everyone things it is a kick and the quickly strike!

Mindas Lohan Hai I like lure kicks. no one ever sees them coming. Ive never heard of a lure kick. Could you explain it if possible? I use something like that. Throwing a kick, intending to miss so you'll lokk off balance and vulernable. I usually go with inside crescent kick. They'll come in after it and walk right into a side kick from the same leg. The best advice I can give for developing sparring techniques is work behind your jab, backfist and snap kicks. These moves are light and quick, but set up for follow up moves. Punches in bunches. Get something going and just let it play out.

I love that technique... its in a 3rd degree pattern and works a treat in sparring xd I do the same with axe kicks. chuck a big obvious axe kick, as its falling they come in thinking your wrong footed, then just fold the knee halfway down then extend into snap kick, or multiples thereof

Ahhh... gotcha. I thought it was a specific type of kick, not a tactic. Thanks for clearing it up.

I've turned that into a lure kick. Came in, they side stepped as I knew they would, then when the came in to counter, Step back Counter Pich(45 degree angle kick.) Pow, right in the kisser... well, the hogo, but you get the point.

Why do I always have to play the realistic b*****d? Alright, time to get to work. 1. Letting your partner strike first isn't original, and being able to constantly dodge every beggining attack that they throw, HA! This also becomes repeditive, and routine in your sparring cycle, thus in a tournament you will get into this mode rather then a proffesional tournament mind set. You will not be aggressive, which when it comes down to the wire, is a HUGE factor on who wins. 2. I can only assume you mean let them get tired first. Good plan, IF you have better conditioning then them, if not, YOUR SCREWED! I don't even have to go into detail with this. 3. This is basically the same as the first one, only your striking back, still shows weakness. 4. Yeah, if thats your strategy against me, you'll lose. 5. Stay balanced is more like it. You stay on your toes and your heels are to far from the ground. You don't want to be flat footed, but when your raise yourself as high as possible, it majorly slows your reaction time.

My new "strategy" is to bring a video camera next time I have my students line spar. None of them are above orange belt yet. I'll send it to America's Dumbest Home Videos and cash in! xd
