Which term corresponds to the Back Kick?

• A. Tollyo Cha Ki
• B. Yup Cha Ki
• C. Dwi Hu Ryo Cha Ki
• D. Dwi Cha Ki

Answer: (D)

The term for the back kick describes a straight, backward thrust from the stance, typically delivered with the heel and the body facing the target behind you. In Korean terminology, that kick is called Dwi Cha Ki, with "Dwi" meaning backward and "Chagi" meaning kick. This name directly matches the action of kicking straight back, which helps you distinguish it from other kicks that travel in different directions or along circular paths.

Other kicks here describe different paths: a turning or roundhouse kick travels in a circular arc, a side kick moves out to the side, and a hook-style kick uses a looping, curved path. Those differences in motion and direction are what separate their names from the back kick.
