Teaching the Overhead 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 overhead 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:
Overhead Kick (new)
- Mid-air Kick (next – coming soon)
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 overhead 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.
