Boot to the head . . . in Spanish

Looking for an English-Spanish martial arts glossary.
I can't seem to find an online English-Spanish martial arts glossary or dictionary. Mr. Joleta has several Spanish-speaking students in his taekwondo class and would like to communicate better with them. Does anyone know of an online list (or a book he could buy) that will help specifically with common terms used in the martial arts? He'd like to be able to say things like "Move your left foot forward" as well as have translations for kick, punch, front, side, roll, various parts of the body, etc. He doesn't need to say things like "front snap kick" in Spanish, though, as there are already a perfectly good Korean terms that everyone learns regardless of their native language.

Response by poster: Thanks, Memo. That's great. I can help Mr. Joleta by translating some of the Japanese karate terms to English first. ( I practice aikido, but many of the karate terms seem familiar.)
