Sparrers

Why is it easier to recover balance from a TaeKwonDo front kick vs a TaeKwonDo front axe kick? This is an important question because balance is key when in a sparring match. The difference in the kick and whether or not one could kick again after execution is important to the strategy of the fighter. Knowing how the center of mass changes depending on the type of kick can give the fighter a marked advantage.
