Drills

 
Message Board

A typical class at Two Rivers Martial Arts consists of the following activities: kicking, blocking, and striking drills, forms, sparring, and board breaking.

Kicking Drills
There are three basic kicks we practice every class: front snap kick, roundhouse kick, and side kick. We practice these techniques repeatedly and at all levels of experience because they are the foundation of the "Tae" in Tae Kwon Do. As students advance in rank, they learn variations of these three kicks. They also learn different types of kicks that are related to them, but these three remain the core from white belt to black belt.

Other kicking drills include combination kicking and jump kicking. In combination kicking, students perform two or more kicks in a row towards an imaginary opponent. The level of difficulty increases as the students level of experience increases. While a white belt might perform a front kick followed by a side kick, a black belt might be doing a double roundhouse kick followed by a jump reverse hooking kick.

In jump kicking drills students begin with their feet together on the ground and then jump up and perform a kick while in the air. Students usually practice these kicks with a partner so that they have a target to aim at. At white belt level the kick would be a middle jump front snap kick. At black belt level it might be a jump hooking kick, a tornado kick, or a high jump front snap kick with both feet at the same time.

Blocking and Striking Drills
There are ten basic techniques students learn as white belts and continue to practice as they advance. They are low block, high block, middle punch, high punch, inside-outside block, outside-inside block, knife-hand block low, knife-hand block middle, two-finger strike high, and reverse elbow strike high. As students advance in rank and level of experience, they learn other hand techniques for blocking and counter-attacking.
