I'm talking either leg. I want to be able to kick with front or back.

And I'm talking about reverse roundhouse kick.

Sorry, my fault, I should have explained what I meant when I made the post. My bad.

It's a hook kick.

I struggled with it for years. Then I got a good tip that helped me loads. This works from either leg but I'll explain it from a right foot back fighting stance kicking off the right leg and your partner in the same position.

  • Perform a yoko geri to a 45 degree angle to the left of your partner (their right side), remember to keep your guard and head towards your partner.
     
    As you reach full extension, pull the foot back so it comes back into your partner at about a 45 degreeish angle (err more to getting the kick behind them than kicking to the side so you get around their guard).
     
    If you're kicking with the heel, make sure your foot and toes are pulled back, but if kicking with the sole of the foot for jodan, point your toes so there's a straight line from the knee down to the toes.

There are some variations of this but that's the basic jist of it.

Hope that helps

Good explanation. Sorry I didn't get the video. I pulled a muscle in my back again so I have been able to kick well the last few days.

Not a problem... hope you get better soon and if you do film a video, please give me the link.

Thanks.
