Get Higher Kicks for Patterns

Premium video Get Higher Kicks for Patterns, is the second release in the ITF Patterns Unleashed series featuring Master Lylian Doulay. The session focuses on practical methods for developing higher kicks specifically for ITF patterns.

Achieving higher kicks in Taekwon-Do patterns is a common challenge, particularly in the senior patterns where balance, control, and flexibility must be maintained under fatigue. This video is aimed primarily at black belts, second degree and above, who are looking to improve kicking height without sacrificing technical accuracy or stability.

Master Doulay introduces a range of warm-up stretches and progressive drills designed to improve flexibility, coordination, and kicking range. Rather than relying on generic stretching routines, the session links each exercise directly to the demands of pattern performance, making it highly relevant for instructors teaching advanced ITF patterns.

The video was recorded during a live Zoom session, and while the recording quality reflects that format, the technical content is exceptionally strong. The teaching emphasis is on long-term development of higher Taekwon-Do kicks through consistent, well-structured training rather than quick fixes.

For instructors and senior students, this session offers valuable insight into how higher kicks for patterns can be developed safely and effectively, with drills that can be adapted for club training or individual practice.
