Korean Name: Bandae Dollyo Gorochagi (반대 돌려 걸어차기) • Bandae (반대): Reverse • Dollyo (돌려): Turning • Goro (걸어): Hooking • Chagi (차기): Kick
The Reverse Hooking Kick is a variation of the Reverse Turning Kick, with two main purposes: • Delivering a strike to the target. • Hooking or catching an opponent who moves in during the execution of the kick. This kick is especially useful in counter-attacking situations where the opponent attempts to close the distance.
1. Bring the heel close to the body immediately after completing the kick to prepare for recoil or follow-up techniques. 2. Bend the kicking leg appropriately during the kick to control the arc and angle of the hooking motion.
• The motion starts similarly to a reverse turning kick, but instead of extending fully toward the target, the kick curves inward to hook. • The hooking motion can off-balance an opponent if it makes contact during their forward movement. • Controlled leg bending during execution is essential for accuracy and preventing overextension.
