JerryLove Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) Another thing which you must not do is kick them in the back as they spin thats dangerous and can really hurt them and stop them doing it especially not with a good step through side kick. Meaning that spin kicks are poor fighting technique (in general)... so perhaps we should kick them in the back to get them to stop throwing them when they won't actually work?

Meaning that spin kicks are poor fighting technique (in general)... so perhaps we should kick them in the back to get them to stop throwing them when they won't actually work? Uh-oh i'm being quoted! I put a lot of winks in that statement meaning yes give them a good kick in the kidneys but i knew everyone would say thats was dangerous and unsporting. I do it! I also drop my elbos onto peoples kicks, they soon stop kicking you in the body then. All unsporting! I think spinning kicks are very effective btu they need great timing and speed...
Bretty101 Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 AES, Why don't you try throwing a spinning kick back at him or at other members of your club and see how they react?! Learnt from them what defences work. If someones got a really good move, ask yourself: Why don't i do that? Bretty
aes Posted February 11, 2004 Author Posted February 11, 2004 Why don't you try throwing a spinning kick back at him or at other members of your club and see how they react?! Learnt from them what defences work. If someones got a really good move, ask yourself: Why don't i do that? Well I did throw two spin hook kicks at him. They did work but not nearly as well executed as his. I know he used a bunch of moves on me. Partly to show off, partly to expose me to all kinds of stuff as a learning experience. He also used the move the hand off to the side as a distraction then punch with the other one, but I don't fall for these. I actually don't look at the hands and feet at all but at their eyes/face. I think spin kicks are effective if you can do them really fast and as a change up. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate
JerryLove Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 I think spinning kicks are very effective btu they need great timing and speed... If they are effectively safe and reliable; then there's no worries about the kicker getting jhurt in sparring. If they are not, then why would you spend time on them as a fighting technique? I think there are some very narrow circumstances where a spinning kick (particularly the spinning back kick, which is the shortest and fastest) is appropriate. Outside of those circumstances, I don't want to turn by back on my oppoinent while standing on one leg... just seems like a bad thing to do. https://www.clearsilat.com
Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 I agree with JerryLove. We seldom do any type of spinning kick because your back is turned to your opponent...not a good idea. To defend against spinning kics, try these: 1. Move towards it. 2. Move back from it. 3. Move laterally to it. 4. Just plain move! Spinning kicks, if they connect, can be very powerful and plow right through most blocks or defenses. However, for the kicker, they can be awkward and hard to keep your center and balance if you miss. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
stl_karateka Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 If he is throwing offensively watch his shoulders / hips.....they'll give you a clue when he is about to execute the kick and you can move accordingly. I prefer the spin hook as a defensive techique KarateForums.com Sempai
Natural Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 A wheel kick, I have'nt try those yet my plan is stick your guard up, stay relax concertraed be prepare of any of his attacks, and get ready to prepare your own attack too. Goodluck. A karate punch it is like a dasvasted stick blow. Instead, a blow of Kung Was is comparable to a lash with a chain that has attacked, allaltra extremity one ball of ferro
JerryLove Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 A wheel kick, I have'nt try those yet my plan is stick your guard up, stay relax concertraed be prepare of any of his attacks, and get ready to prepare your own attack too. Though point-sparring rules may mess with this, I like the "attack when you feel the urge"... as long as you make sure that "anything he does gives yo uthe urge". That way, if yo uscrew up and get hit, you can at least maintain inititive. Few things are worse than trying to defend and failing with no fall-back action involved. https://www.clearsilat.com
