Class B Instructor's Course
April 17-18, 2010 at Headquarters
taught by Grand Master Winegar

The Class B Instructor's Course featured jump kicking, and we thought it would be useful to write down the kicking combinations that Grand Master Winegar had us doing. These are great combinations to use for practice. Have a training partner or two so that you have pad holders, then each of you can take turns kicking. Learning to hold the pads properly is very important. Make sure the pads are at the correct angle, and at an appropriate height and distance for the kicks, keeping in mind who is kicking!

Combination Kicking: front kicks, jump left, kick right-left.
Twin foot front kick, plus punch: two-foot take-off.
Double mid-air kicks (no run or step): front kicks.
Then mid-air side piercing kicks: start side facing.
Then mid-air side turning kicks: kick the top pad first.

Flying kicks:
Double side piercing: jump left, kick right-right.
Double turning: jump L, kick R-R.
Double side turning: jump L, kick R-R.

Combination Kicking:
Front-turning: jump R, kick L-R (helpful to have two holders)
Twist-turning: jump R, kick L-R

Consecutive Kicking:
Turning-side piercing: do this mid-air; if that's not possible, jump L, kick R-R
Vertical-front: same as above.

Double 180 Back Kick: Retract the first kick; this will also help stop the rotation.

Consecutive:
High kick-downward kick: jump L, kick R-R. (no retraction; the downward kick is the retraction.)
High kick-front kick: needs retraction so it's more difficult.
High kick-turning kick: you must turn the hip, unlike the 1st two.
High kick-side kick: you must turn the hip ALL the way over.

Combination:
Front kick-twist kick: jump R, kick L-R.

Consecutive:
Hook kick-turning kick: pads one over the other for mid-air; otherwise flying, jump L, kick R-R.

Twin Kicks:
Twin turning kick, one target, then two targets: like a skier, twisted at the waist, not a twin front kick facing sideways.
Twin turning kick, one target, plus a side kick.

Two-Direction Kicks:
Twist kick-side kick: like in Juche - these kicks must be delivered simultaneously, not 1-2. Pads lined up, then step in from an angle.
Front kick-back kick: two-foot take-off, like for twin kicks, front left, back right; watch the angle of approach.

Triples:
Twin foot front kick plus front kick: two foot take-off.
Twin foot front kick plus turning kick.
Triple front kicks: jump L, kick R-L-R.
Front-front-turning: same as above, but turn the hips (pad at 90 degrees).
Front-front-twist: turn the hip the other way (pad at 45 deg. other way).
Triple turning: jump L, kick R-R-R (set the pads 1.middle, 2.higher, 3.lower).
Triple side kick: be careful the 1st pad doesn't interfere into the 2nd and 3rd pads.
Twist-turning-turning: jump R, kick L-R-R
Twin turning kick, two targets, plus side kick: two foot take-off; two pads to the left, then one in front.
Vertical-front-front, consecutive: jump L, kick R-R-R.
Hook kick, turning-turning: Right leg kicks.
Two-direction kick plus turning: turning pad next to the twist pad, back leg does the turning kick.
Two-direction kick (front-back) plus front kick (front pad next to front pad).
