ABSTRACT
In Taekwondo combat, the main attack movements include round house kicks and axe kicks because these two type kicks are executed at high speed and increase chance to score. Therefore, many coaches combine these two kicking movements when training Taekwondo athletics. Using these kicks is considered the most offensive attack of athletics (Roh & Watkinson, 2002; Lee et al., 2005). However, back kick and jump back kick are the best counterattack movements against round house kick and axe kick. Therefore, back kick and jump back kick are important attack movements in Taekwondo combat.
