If you don’t have a partner to work with and want a target, you can make one yourself using a nail, string, tennis ball and a small plastic sandwich bag. Place the ball in the bag, then use the string to tie the bag closed being sure to leave a few extra feet of string. Drive the nail into a ceiling or, if you can’t kick over 5 1⁄2 feet (1. 7 m), a door frame will work. Tie the string from the bag to the nail in the ceiling so that it hangs down about 6 inches (15. 2 cm) lower than you can kick.
When training to increase your speed or power, don’t forget about the accuracy. Accuracy is as important as the speed.
There is a higher level and number of aerial kicks in Taekwondo compared to other martial arts. Taekwondo is known for doing jump spin kicks, 360-degree kicks, and 540-degree kicks. The biggest difference between Taekwondo and karate is the aerial kicks and the amount of kicking as opposed to hand techniques.
