This is a tutorial for taekwondo round kick. It’s the sport kick not the round house. So let us get to it.

Ok now the way this kick differs from the roundhouse kick, is this kick is going to come up and turn. Roundhouse kick you’re coming out in a circular motion. Step 1 what you are going to do is lift the knee. Step 2 you’re gonna point your supporting heel towards your target and turn your hip over and make sure your knee and your foot are parallel to the ground. So from here – step 1 – lift, 2 – turn, 3 - kick through, slightly extend, retract the kick and bring it down in front of you.

This foot slightly faces out as you lift the knee. Now the heel will point towards your target lift your body weight up on the ball of the foot and take it forward. Point your heel towards your target and drop. Quickly the steps, lift knee up, hip it - kick, retract. Body weight goes forward. So fast motion. Again fast motion and fast motion. Using high instep or low shin to strike. Here I’m going to lead the knee to the face bring the kick over, snap it back.
