Ironberg Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I'm somewhat new to this technique, which requires one to basically throw a spinning hook kick while sitting on their knee. After some of the other exercises that we do - it is difficult for me to sometimes adequately judge the position of my foot, and I am therefore dragging it across the rough carpet. This has caused serious rug burns, blisters, and removed skin. An inevitable problem I've been having is the intense rug burns I've been getting on the lower segment of my knee above my shin bone. Does anyone have any advice, comments, or measure that can be taken to preform this technique safetly. Done properly, this sweeping kick is kinda cool.

tommarker Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 don't practice on the carpet? a technique like that, you're only going to get to do once. it's a bit of a sacrifice technique, so there's going to be a little pain involved. I tend to fall more onto my hip as I do it. But I spent 10 years playing soccer and slide tackling, so that stuff comes naturally. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

Ironberg Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Try practicing on concrete or rough stones Yeah! I'm sure that'll get me whipped into proper form in no time - not! I see what tommarker is saying. My instructor says that I shouldn't be dragging my foor across the ground, and that my knees should someday overcome it.
