Bon Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 I'm just wondering how many kicks I do know and can perform compared to the different kicks there are out there. I know of : inner & outer thigh.. front kick, lead & back round house, lead & back side kick head height kick spinning back kick crescent(sp?) kick 360 spin and crescent kick some kind of 360 kick called a 'helicopter' or 'aerial' I guess if I know 360, a 180 .. kick before moving onto 360, where you jump up, doing a twisting roundhouse sort of thing. run up and back leg for front kick run up, front kick to get height, then powerful front kick with back leg. step up side kick back kick pivot on one foot and twist to put a heel into something behind/on the side of you.. jumping spinning back kick jumping back kick This is all I can think of, and I've done them all in kickboxing.. Can anyone else add kicks which I haven't listed here ? Wanna get an idea of what I didn't learn, because I learnt knees, elbows and all the punches. I can think of a flying side kick, which I might have done once .. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G95champ Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Why did you not ask how many stars in the sky they are or grains of sand on the beach. LOL . Basic Kicks Front Side Back Roundhouse Cressant Ax Hook To each you can add Sanp Thrust Spin Jump Jump Spin Jump Snap Jump Thrust Spin Snap Spin Thrust Rolling Flipping Also Lead Leg Back Leg On one Knee On Both knees On your back face down laying on your side Also we can break other kicks down to instep Ball of the foot ankel locked or falt part of the foot Heel Calves Then we got all those special things Scissors Maching Gun Split kicks Sweeps Knees Im lost now heck any way you can hit someone with your foot is a kick for me good luck hope you find an answer.....

karatekid1975 Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Hey, G, Ya forget a few hehehehe. I know the average martial artists doesn't do these but here's a couple that weren't mentioned: 540, flash kick, ect. Oh and the "flying" (running, jumping) kicks the Tang Soo Do is famous for. Bon mentioned the flying side kick. There's the flying roundhouse, front kick and back kick (which is hard for me to do in the air gggggrrrr). And the famous tornato kick, which is a 360 roundhouse and/or cresent. Oops, that was mentioned. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 "It takes 100 repititions to learn the kick, 1000 repititions to be proficient in the kick, and 10,000 repitions to master the kick." My Sabumnin said something similar to that a year ago, I can't remember it exactly.

karatekid1975 Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Jack. That was right. My Tang Soo Do teacher told us that also. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabid hamster Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 ad, i heard a quote similar to that. "I do not fear your 10,000 kicks you have practiced once, but your one kick you practiced 10,000 times" about how high would you have to jump to be able to do those flying sidekicks. They look so cool. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G95champ Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Sorry KarateKid1975 lol. When I first started teaching I though it would be great to make a lost of everything I would ask for on each test. Then I ran into the same problem here. Way to many things to write down and say this is for that belt. So now I just play it by ear. LOL. (General George S.
