parkerlineage Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 haha...yeah, pretty much.I can do it, though it's not nearly as fluid, and I don't recommend it unless you've practiced a bunch. If you do use it, it's really good in sparring, though.How I do it, is a kick-drag wheel kick with left, then, instead of just snapping it back and setting it down, I snap it to the left, and let my hips follow, which, when added to a right wheel kick motion, makes it for a pretty clean kick.Peace;Parkerlineage American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 this really deomonstrates how confusing names can be for kicks especially... more so than hands. Just soooo many different names for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManaZe Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 No kidding. A shuto is a shuto is a shuto, but I've found like 4 different kicks all called a wheel kick. Freakin nuts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 You can even see it in a single art - compare WTF TKD to ITF TKD - walking stance is different.... reverse side kick is different... its not just different interpretation in some cases - sometimes they're wholly different moves.

BLueDevil Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Ive seen some crazy chicken kicks, one of which broke someones finger and the other (different set of fighters) knocked someone out! There is no teacher but the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why_Worry Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Yeah, kick names are confusing. I know some people that call spinning back kicks round house kicks. Actually it hink alot of people do. Its also kinda because it seems in all martial arts everyone kicks a little bit different while there arent many different ways to punch or elbow someone.

Rateh Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 we call a "hook kick" a heel kickthough occasionally me or another instructor will call it a hook kick, and the kids get confusedthe kids also get confused if i say "round" instead of "roundhouse" kick Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start. - Nido Qubein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_K Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Another variation of the wheel kick is like a spinning hook kick where the leg is straight, striking with the heel, as opposed to "hooking" it in by bending your knee in at the point of impact.
