Valor Taekwondo Lesson 6: Slide Back Roundhouse

The slide back roundhouse kick, or the counter roundhouse for some, is probably the most common and staple counter attack in all of Taekwondo, both in and out of sparring. So simple, yet so many fail to get right. Today, we will learn to get the details right and correct the technique for those of you who may in fact be performing it wrong.

It is recommended to practice both the body and headshot versions of the kick as well as the switch variant (also body and headshot) 5 sets of 10 repetitions each leg. Be sure to pay attention to your posture and how much you are actually moving backward. Again, get the details right and then add more speed. Practice makes perfect!
