ShotokanKid Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I would like to use Ura Mawashi Geri more often but I am not sure I am doing it properly. Does anyone have a link that shows how to execute it properly, or can anyone describe how everything should be? I was practicing it and my instructor said to lift my knee up more, or else I would hurt it. I will ask him about it next week, but I would like to practice it this weekend so my instructor can critique it when I am kicking properly.

Gyak Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 This is a technique that I struggle with also. Dont seem to get enough snap for it to score consistently at tournaments. Ill look forward to some advice on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Fisher Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I have never heard of a Ura Mawashi Geri what exactly is it? Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncole_91 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I am going to guess that it is close roundhouse kick.Ura Zuki means close punchMawahi Geri means roundhouse kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Miller Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Instructor is correct. Always knee up first to target, then let the foot snap out. muscle contraction and hip drives the knee to target. Too many try to drive the foot to target instead of knee - losing speed, power, and acuracy to target.- Killer - Mizu No KokoroShodan - Nishiyama SenseiTable Tennis: http://www.jmblades.com/Auto Weblog: http://appliedauto.mypunbb.com/Auto Forum: http://appauto.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathal Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Here are some images:http://www.jkaecuador.org/patadas_archivos/URAMAWASHIGERI.jpghttp://www.icon.fi/~nagai/6.gifhttp://www.aokdojo.com/Hook_Kick_480x600.jpgI have seen it done in sparring, and when done it is very effective to get around an opponent's guard. In combinations I've seen some rear thrust kicks thrown in before or after this technique.As for tips, etc. make sure you're comfortable with crescent kicks and of course the normal roundhouse before this one. It worked for me when I started trying this technique in competition. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Fisher Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I think I know what you are talking about now. Like a outside crescent kick but much closer to the target and still using the bridge of your foot instead of the edge like the outside cresent kick. Sorry the pictures didn't help much. Or are you striking with your knee? If its with your knee its what I always knew as a Mawashi Hiza Geri. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathal Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 My style teaches that you strike with the ball of your foot, or heel, depending upon distance.Knees can be involved if you are defending against an edged weapon and you're attacking their elbow or upper arm. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Fisher Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 So I am correct in the throwing it like a outside cresent kick? Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathal Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Not necessarily. It's basically a reverse roundhouse. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
