Teaching the Mid-air Kick

New Video Release with Brendan Doogan

We’re excited to release the next instalment in our Teaching Series featuring TKDCoaching Expert Coach Brendan Doogan — a respected member of the ITF Coaches Committee and head of the Educational Panel for ITF Taekwon-Do here in New Zealand.

This episode focuses on one of the more challenging jumping techniques for students to master: the mid-air kick.

A Practical, Step-by-Step Learning Session

Each video in this series follows a group of young practitioners as they learn the foundations of a specific kick. Rather than simply demonstrating the movement, Mr Doogan breaks each technique down into:

• simple, easy-to-replicate drills
• clear progressions
• achievable stages
• real-time corrections and coaching

You’ll see the students improve right in front of you as they work through the drills — a rare and extremely valuable resource for instructors.

Part of Our Growing “Teaching” Series

This overhead kick session builds on earlier videos in the series, where Mr Doogan has already covered:

• Flying Kick
• Overhead Kick 
• Mid-air Kick (new)

Why Instructors Will Love This Video

Many instructors can no longer jump as powerfully or as high as they once could — and that is completely normal.

This series gives instructors a practical way to teach the technique without needing to perform the full movement themselves.

You’ll learn:

• how to structure a class around the mid-air kick
• how to break the skill into manageable steps
• how to give meaningful corrections to students
• how to build confidence and gradual height

If you’re a younger or up-and-coming practitioner, this video will help you develop a strong overhead kick in a short period of time. If you’re an instructor, it will give you the tools to teach the kick with confidence — even if your own jumping days are behind you.
