The straight punch (Baro Jireugi) is one of the first hand techniques taught in Taekwondo poomsae. Unlike the reverse punch where the rear hand strikes, the straight punch drives with the front hand — the same side as the lead foot. It is executed at the end of a forward step in walking stance, with the force of the step contributing to the impact.
