Do-san: Taekwondo's Short Range Front Kick
Taekwondo Do-san
Why would anyone want to throw a short range *kick* when it is so much easier throwing a long range kick keeping the opponent at bay? Well, short range kicks allow you to keep balance, engage the opponent with your hands, deliver deceptively powerful basic kicks, and allow you to recover your COG so you can strike with upper body tools. Short range kicks are not to be dismissed!
