Advanced Kick Routine

Here’s an advanced kicking routine that we used to do at my martial arts school. I don’t know if this is some greater Kuk Sool kicking drill or was just something local to our school. But it’s a challenge, and fun. Note as well that I’m using what ought to be typical Kuk Sool verbage, both in kicks (e.g. a “spin kick” is what others might call a 360º kick) and and specification (e.g. inside kick implies using the back leg, pop-up implies front leg).

  1. Start in defensive stance
  2. Inside kick (now in offensive stance)
  3. High spin kick
  4. Low spin kick
  5. Jump spin kick (ending in offensive stance)
  6. Switch stance (now in defensive stance)
  7. Pop-up outside kick
  8. Roundhouse kick (now in offensive stance)
  9. Spin kick (ending in offensive stance)
  10. Inside kick
  11. Jump spin inside kick (ending in defensive stance… and no right had soo doh 🙂 )
  12. Pop-up side kick
  13. Pop-up hook kick (still in defensive stance)
  14. Spin back kick (now in offensive stance)
  15. Jump spin back kick (now in defensive stance)
  16. Step through/across spin kick
  17. Double front kick
  18. Split kick
  19. Scissors kick
