Can anyone tell me the Korean word for sweep kicks? More specifically, broken down into sweep across, sweep front, sweep side? Thanks for any help - this has been an ongoing question in class!:kiss:

I don't know of any Korean martial art that incorporates sweeps into the curriculum other than Yudo, but I think even they use Japanese terms!

In Hwa Rang Do sweeps could be called Dora.

Dora Chagi is a spin kick with the heel - can be used as a sweep or flying (Dwia Dora Chagi) for that matter.

They come with/whitout over/under obstacles - sitting, walking, flying and 360 / 540 degrees and jumping up to or down from obstacles.

Hoping this makes it all crystal :asian:

ohpo chagi - falling kick (leg sweep)

Hi you all and be blessed.

I learned from my Teacher that in Korea the frasing for sweep was 'BalLo TonGi Gi'.

Have fun in your search.

In World Tang Soo Do, most sweeps are referred to collectively as 'Bahl Mok Cha Ki'

-basically "ankle kicks"

Sweep techniques appear in two of our black belt hyungs.

TKD, hapkido, HWD...

Sweeping Kicks are commonly referred to as goro chagi - sweeping kick

and what is Korean for outside wrist lock, hip throw and others? Why we all train by numbers? Funny, isn't it?

Same in the ITSDF.

Tang SOo!!

Well I believe all KMA's have sweeps, not just Yudo. Also, in Yudo, we use both languages for naming techniques-Japanese (Wazas) and Korean (Sools)

So far at my dojang, we've done several sweeps/ takedowns, starting at no later than yellow belt.

I think it depends on school. Personally, I think that all martial artists should have a cursory understanding of take-downs and the like.

Great post Frank! I Agree!

In the DoJang where I study learn to use sweeps, wrist controls, and some take downs as part the whole self defense process.

Greetings,

We sometimes use a sweep or the opponents front foot in training, though we have no corresponding Korean term for it. We learn the Korean terms for the basics we start with by first learning the basic parts such as :ah rey-low, moomtong-middle, al gool-high, ap-front, dweet-back/rear, yup-side then add the action part like gi rugi-punch, mocki-block, chigi-strike, oligi-stretch, chagi-kick and modifiers like ahn-inward, sonnal-knifehand etc, and using the terms for sweep noted above might put forth Ah rey goro chagi or ah rey goro mocki or not even use the sweep term and simply phrase it like ah rey mocki chagi. There are many variances in korean terminology, such as in the names of the forms chung and jung ( tae geuk il chung or tae geuk il jung ) as well as the more lengthy terms provided above for sweep. It is said ask several different native speaking Koreans for a translation and you could get even more phrases than the number of people you ask. Since I have not studied the language in any other capacity, I can't be definative, but only make an educated guess that there are probably several right answers, based on where you study and who taught them and what dialect of Korean is being used. :asian:

Farang-

In my school, sweeps started in white belt, #23 to be exact. Sweeps are usually heel hooks (Kumchi Dolye Cha Gi), either outside (wae) or inside (nae). In some techniques Ha Dan Dora Cha Gi (low spin kick) in combo with other techniques, but most of the time it's heel hook. The only other sweep that I can think of is like a stiff-front kick, but I don't know the Korean term for it.

Farang-
