karatekid1975 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I have lots of favorites (I'm a kicker in general, so I like a lot of them). For power: side kick, back kick, Thai roundhouse, and front push kick. For height: Spinning hook, regular roundhouse, front snap kick, and cresent kick. I do favor my lead leg (any kick) when sparring, though. But other than that, the above can be on either leg. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOM Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Front kick using the ball of my foot to the knee or shin. I also like to use a knee to the hip, thigh or groin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shokei Marcsui Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I love a good low round house to the leg and then one to the head. Ichi Geki, Hissatsu one strike, certain death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotokanbeginner Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I like the roudhouse we do in karate, but that's becuase at our dojo we do it like the thai one, I think my favorite is front thrust kick though which I think is the same as front push kick everyone has fear, but it is when we let it overcome us that we losesoft, hard, slow, fast components of kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gateqway Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 There's a alot of kicks i like, but I'll go with Mae Geri. Its direct, powerful and fast. I use it alot when people try to charge in with punches.My Sensei gets abit annoyed when I aimed a bit too low..I hope i voted for the right one, i chose front snap kick. Most people’s compassion and kindness are bounded by threats of their interest. People respond to irritancies will dire actions and speech, which is magnified by grudge, competitiveness and fear.

Isshinryu_heart Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 my favorite kick will probably always be the hook, usually i follow it up with a roundhouse with the same leg. However I am also a fan of the sideblade, especially when my sparring partner is too far away - I do a sort of crossover and kick before they know what's coming ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drithen Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I'm split between defensive side kick and front snap kick to the groin when my opponent throws those dang high kicks. Went with side kick though becuse I can land that when I want.. snap you have to wait for the counter "Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others. -Colossians 3:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
