There are four basic kicks in Taekwondo:

Front kick: This kick is delivered with the ball of the foot and is used to strike opponents in the head or body.
Side kick: This kick is delivered with the side of the foot and is used to strike opponents in the head or side of the body.
Roundhouse kick: This kick is delivered with the heel and is used to strike opponents in the head or body.
Back kick: This kick is delivered with the heel and is used to strike opponents in the back of the head or body.

Once you have mastered the basic kicks, you can begin to learn the more advanced training techniques. These techniques include:

Combinations: Combinations are sequences of two or more kicks that are delivered in a fluid motion. They are used to attack opponents from different angles and to keep them off balance.
Forms: Forms are pre-arranged sequences of kicks, punches, and blocks. They are used to develop your technique, your balance, and your endurance.
Sparring: Sparring is a controlled form of fighting that allows you to practice your techniques against a live opponent. It is a great way to improve your skills and to test your progress.

Taekwondo is a rewarding martial art that can teach you self-defense, discipline, and respect. If you are interested in learning Taekwondo, this book is the perfect place to start. It will teach you everything you need to know, from the basic kicks to the advanced training techniques.
