Turning Kick is the only Taekwondo kick pad available that measures kicking speed, impact power, and reaction time.
This is how you up your game!
"I recommend Turning Kick for any Taekwondo student."
Grand Master Y.D. Park, Ph.D., 9th Dan Blackbelt
CAUTION: May cause envy in classes and at tournaments.
WARNING: Pants many not fit due to jacked thighs and gluts.
"For years I've taught Taekwondo and told students their kicks were fast (but not how fast) or powerful (but not how powerful). With Turning Kick, I finally have that data and can share it with my students. At last we know how fast is fast, and how powerful is powerful. And if having their numbers read aloud to the class encourages a little friendly competition, so much the better!"
Master Stan Love, Ph.D., 6th Dan Blackbelt
Turning Kick was created by a former NASA engineer who’s also a Taekwondo 4th Dan Blackbelt. Yep, you read that correctly—space martial arts!
For a long time, he felt stuck. No matter how hard he trained, it just seemed like his kicking wasn’t getting any better. Then he remembered something Peter Drucker once said: "You can't improve what you don't measure." And being an engineer, he thought, “Its probably time to figure this out and make some prototypes.” So, he started working on something that would actually track and measure how powerful each kick was. And that’s when things started to change.
Fast forward a bit, and he’s watching his Taekwondo class transform right in front of his eyes. What used to be just a regular class became a full-on competition. Everyone was suddenly all in—kicking faster, harder, and pushing each other more than ever. Advanced students who were stuck in a rut were now seeing real progress. They started coming to class more often, giving it their all, and who can blame them? The leaderboard was addictive. When you can actually see how far you’ve come, it makes you want to keep going.
And the results? Let’s just say Turning Kicks have been clocked above 180 G's of force. Yeah, it’s the strongest and fastest kick in the world. But here’s the thing, this isn’t just about stats. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself, no matter where you start. So, how will you measure up?

Turning Kick is not a normal focus pad. Yes, perhaps wiring up a focus pad with sensors and using algorithms for data capture and processing is a little extra. But if you're going to be extraordinary, you have to be extra—it's right there in the word. If normal results are what you want, then a normal focus pad is perfect. There are many good ones available.
No, because pounds of force doesn't tell us what we want to know. We are interested in the amount of damage a kick will do, not just how much force is behind it. WARNING, NERD EXPLANATION: For example, if you stand in front of a 15,000 pound truck and let it push you at 1 mile per hour the amount of force is tremendous, but it won't hurt you. Why? Because there is little or no impact. Impact loading can be measured in G's or G force. Essentially the more something is accelerating the greater the impact force will be. Think Bruce Lee's one-inch punch. Turning Kick focuses on measuring impact, because that's what matters when it comes to kicking.
At NASA, when flight hardware gets sent into orbit, it has to work correctly the first time and every time until the mission is complete or the hardware wears out. If it doesn't, then an astronaut gets to chuck it out of an airlock and people on earth may see a new shooting star. If Turning Kick doesn't work for you, feel free to chuck it out of an airlock! ... Or you could send it back to us and we will be happy to replace it or give you a full refund. If you do choose the first option take some video for us!
If you break Turning Kick through normal use, CONGRATS! That is quite an impressive feat. Honestly, we would like it back to see what you did, and maybe take a few selfies with it. The next version will not be so easily defeated ... Oh yeah, and we'll send you a new one for free. (normal wear and tear doesn't count.)
Ouch! Let us be the first to say sorry and that we hope your foot is ok. The housing is made from 3D printed micro-carbon fiber and is extremely durable. Don't worry. Your foot will grow back. Pain is weakness leaving the body. Or maybe that was intelligence. We forget which.
Sure, we could put the housing inside the pad and surround it with more padding. This would put it very near to the kick point of impact and make it likely that it gets hit. Or we could put it as far away as possible from the kick point of impact... Yeah, let's do that.
Turning Kick is just the right size to get it done! (large focus pad)
16.5 in (42 cm) long x 10 in (26 cm) tall x 2.5 in (6.5 cm) wide
Turning Kick uses a standard 9V battery. "Why 9V?" you ask. "That's kind of a weird size." It's because Turning Kick experiences massive accelerations when in use. The 9V is the only battery that has a clip-on connection so Turning Kick won't lose power... yeah, that's a good idea.
You don't need any tools. Hurray! Look for the battery icon on the housing next to the handle. Gently pull on one of the tabs on the side of the housing until it comes free. Remove the battery cover - It has the battery icon on it. Pull the battery out of the housing and swap it out with a new one. Replace the battery cover and snap the tabs into place - there is one on each side of the housing. Now get back to awesomeness!
Turning Kick uses advanced sensors and algorithms that have been developed through rigorous engineering and battlefield testing. Thousands of data points are collected, filtered, and processed to deliver precise and accurate measurements. The Kicker then uses this real-time feedback to refine their technique, improve their strength, and dial-in their speed. The result? Legendary!
There is no setup required to get started with Turning Kick. Simply flip the power switch to the “on“ position and follow the directions on the screen. Turning Kick was designed to take the knowledge that you already have—how to use a focus pad—and builds on that to make your training sessions epic!
Turning Kick is made with the highest quality focus pad materials available. Durable synthetic leather wraps a double cup design for a louder, more satisfying snap when kicked. A resilient internal spine ensures Turning Kick retains its shape and won't droop from prolonged use. The housing is made from 3D printed micro carbon fiber, which can take a hit better than a linebacker!
