Ti-Kwon-Leap Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I love all the basic kicks (flying kicks are for movies and drunk opponents) Right now I'm partial to the rear leg fake leg sweep that "s" curves into a hook kick very hard to see coming! The opponent usually is only concerned with defending his/her legs. Ti-Kwon-Leap"Annoying the ignorant since 1961" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsdstud Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 mine (that I can actually do) has to be a tornado leading into a spinning hook. But, like a lot of others have said, in sparring I love going to the body with my lead leg. I just hang that leg out there waiting for an opening. cho dan TSD"Every second that you are not training, someone somewhere is training to kick your butt"- Kyo Sa Lyle (my instructor) "Where we going in 5 months?!?!?!"

tsdstud Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 my other favorite kick would have to be the "flower axe kick" Kick with the back leg but make a circular motion in coming up and down. it's a very showy kick for open forms cho dan TSD"Every second that you are not training, someone somewhere is training to kick your butt"- Kyo Sa Lyle (my instructor) "Where we going in 5 months?!?!?!"

tsdstud Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 OK, I've got a new one now. Steve Terada does it on his website, http://www.steve-terada.com. He calls it a halftwist axe kick flip. He does a front flip with his feet split, and grabs his front leg, leaving his back leg to fall in an axe kick. Awesomest kick I've ever seen. cho dan TSD"Every second that you are not training, someone somewhere is training to kick your butt"- Kyo Sa Lyle (my instructor) "Where we going in 5 months?!?!?!"

MBP Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 I think that I can honestly say that they are all my favorites. At first, they all seem almost impossible to perform as the instructors do. Then with patience, practice and good instruction, you can rock anyone with any kick! (O.K. , I do like the power and versatility of the front kick. And the feel of the whip of the spinning hook kick. And the height and speed of the tornado kick. And the sheer power and force of the side kick. And the angle and deceptiveness of the reverse roundhouse. And... see what I mean?!)
