| To most koreans I've talked to the consider the side kick and the front kick to be the most important kicks not the high flying fancy jump hook kicks and so fourth. |

Front Snap = Quickness
Side Kick = Power
Couldn't agree more, cept like Round House too.

I like back kicks - you ust have to have a little more time. I also like roundhouse - they re extremely quick. But, all in all, I think the most effective are front and side kicks.  |

| I agree with TKD, but we don't snap our front kick. So, there's a decent amount of power it it as well. |

I like the front thrust/push kick, the turning kick, the side kick, and if I have enuff time the spinning back kick. The front thrust is good for intercepting, taking the wind out of, or stopping ur opponent in his tracks and then afterwards if necessary you can follow up with whatever u want. 
In self-defense it's probably best to stick with the low front snap or front push/thrust to groin or solar plexus or other vital places but in TKD sport and tournaments a lotta times the turning kick is like what everyone uses 90% of the time. :grin:
