Oracle Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 The other mistake people make with regard to a good side kick is telegraphing it with a step first.Done right, you should never have to step then kick...a large percentage of fighters always step first.Push off your back leg and thrust. I agree the low to mid level kicks will punish your competition.If people can grab your leg....keep training !!If you want to see a punishing side kick, go to MASLINC.com and watch Joey Greenhalgh's or Jason Tankson Bourelly's side/ax kick and you will understand.

Novak Uros Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hi...I think the diference in this kick is very good seen on this pictures:Yoko geri keagehttp://www.shotokai.cl/imagenes/tecnicas/keage2.jpgYoko geri kekomihttp://www.karateschoolalken.nl/foto/ralken_kekomi.jpgI think Keage is usefull in real fight, but Kekomi is sometimes good, if not in the fight then for opening locked doors ... Have a nice day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Both are good for their intended purpose. Snap is not intended to to smash ribs or knees like a thrust is, but if anyone has ever had a good snap kick delivered to the groin or pressure points under the arm-pit, you will know they work. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
