Taekwondo is the art of hitting with your hands and feet. Tae Bo is a sport that combines Taekwondo shots with boxing shots, performed on a musical background. Starting from this premise, the purpose of this research is to highlight the most important and used kicks in Taekwondo, also used in most Tae Bo programs. The focus of the research is on foot techniques, as in Taekwondo, 95% of the shots are performed by using the lower limbs and only 5% by using the upper limbs. On the other hand, the research also wants to underline the benefits of practicing Taekwondo.
