Hook kick

[ZakariRu]

Bruce lee has the vertical hook (round kick sweeping upward) Karate calls this a cutting kick.

 

A hook kick. (inside out)

 

And an outside in hook kick.

 

all are illustrated with the ball of the foot stretched, striking with the ball or the instep

 

page 84 mentions using the ball of the foot for attacking the shin knee or instep. regardless of kicking type.

 

The text from page 80 on does not clearly display anything.

 

I may be mistaken about if he refers to the round kick as a hook kick and a hook kick as an outward in hook kick.

 

But that does not make alot of sense.

Im pretty sure you nailed it.

 

p.83 details more striking tools for these types of kicks. ie-instep, shin.

 

roundhouse kick = hook kick.

 

outward in hook kick = reverse hook kick.

 

diagram p.82

 

Refer to p.74 however, and note the terminology for spinning hook kicks = hooking heel kick.

 

BTW: Sorry for hijacking the thread. Ill stop now.
