SulKiDo primarly uses the front `snap' kick which is delivered with the ball of the foot and an upward-moving motion. The front `thrust' kick is delivered with the heel and a linear motion, but is not found in formal patterns/training.

SulKiDo primarily uses the traditional form of the roundhouse kick, in which the knee is raised to the side before pivotting. Many competition-oriented martial arts prefer the newer variant in which the knee is raised to the front of the body before pivotting - this results in a faster kick but a less powerful impact.

SulKiDo primarily uses the side thrust kick, in which the foot moves linearly heel-first from a cocked position. This is different to the side snap-kick (often preferred in competitive styles), where the knee rotates in a different plane generating more speed at the expense of reduced impact power.
