ShotokanKid Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Today, I was corrected when doing yoko geri kekomi for leaning back when kicking. How do you think is the best way to correct this and minimize the lean? Thanks in advance for your advice. "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men.

wyx Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Keep your eyes facing forward at all times and try keep you hands in front of you as in fighting stance, try leaning towards the way you are kicking, think of your whole body behind the kick driving forwards not just the leg.Focus on not moving your hands back as you kick or rotating too much on the ball of your foot as you would with a round house kick, try and keep your head and hands still.Also you may be trying to kick to high i.e a not realistic jodan height. The higher you wanna kick the harder not to lean back.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotokanKid Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Thanks for the advice, it looks a little bit more correct now "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men.

shoshinkan Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 as well as pushing the kick out, think of driving your body into the motion ie forward.it does take good hip and leg flexability Yours in karateJim Neeterhttps://www.shoshinkanuk.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2_sub Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I lean backword myself when doing yoko geri to the face , so i am probably not the right one to correct it for you by the way , you get a higher kick when leaning , i never used it in a fight anyway ..
