Dollyo chagi (round house kick)

Chagi

A chagi is a technique to overpower the opponent by making use of the foot manipulated by the motion of leg. The chagi can be performed by using the force at the time of extending the bent and folded knee or the flexion force of the extened leg, making use of the body's turning force. The chagi techniques are classified by the motion of leg and foot, and the kicking power diggers according to the applicable parts of the body. There are also other classification methods according to the way of kicking either by holding the opponent or using the impellent force. 

Dollyo chagi (round house kick)

 

1. Putting the weight on the pivoting foot, one turns the body immediately after folding the knee and, as the knee stretches, makes the kicking foot circle horizontally so that the fore sole may kick the target(The foot back can also be used as the kicking part).
2. The supporting leg stretches its ankle and knee to help the fore sole pivot the body easily.
3. The kicking leg must stop at the time of kicking the target without making a follow through.
4. Unlike the apchagi or yopchagi, the kicking foot does not make a straight line track. The foot is first raised and then begins to move in a circle.
5. After a hard training, the dollyochagi will be able to make a pounding kick from above the target at the time of kick.

• The basic techniques of chagi consist of apchagi, yopchagi and dollyochagi, but there are variations in the chagi techniques.
