A Turning Punch is a punch in which the punch is delivered with a horizontal circular motion so that the strike is made to the side of the target, such as to the opponent's jaw. The Turning Punch is seen, for example, in the old form Chul-Gi.

  • Angle Punch - If the Turning Punch is carried around further (past the opponent's jaw, for instance) then it is called an Angle Punch, as in the form Joong-Gun.
  • Crescent Punch - If the arc of the punch is more exagerated, then this is called a Crescent Punch.
