About

Dwijibo jirugi, literally upset punch, is in ITF Taekwon-Do a fist punch that the glossaries of Trident Taekwon-Do, UK-TKD Luton and Cambridge Taekwon-Do list under this name. The same glossaries also list the related sang dwijibo jirugi, in English twin upset punch, that is, the variant with both fists. In the tul Tong-Il it is, according to the dotaekwondo.net breakdown, movements 29 and 33.
