I primarily study Karate which has less emphasis on kicks than TKD. I was fortunate enough to take TKD in college under a very good institutor. I love kicking and have a deep respect for TKD. My Question for you more experienced kickers: Rising Kick and Vertical Kick, what are they? I have seen a Rising Kick before and it looks very similar to an Axe Kick but I am unsure of its detailed execution. I also heard that the Vertical Kick involves the blade of the foot. Please enlighten me. …Many Thanks
