2/12/2013

TKD class: 6:00-7:00. We added in some axe kick work with the front leg, working the hip flexors. Sparring was better, and I found out today that I don't ever have to wear that damned chest protector ever again! Bye-bye! I was able to move so much better without that thing on.

Stretch at home.

4-direction round kick x3

4-direction front kick repeat round kick x3

Stretch

The gist of the 4-direction kicking I'm doing is to step back to fighting stance, back leg kick, land in front, then do a quarter step to face to the next direction, repeat 4 times, then do the other side.

This sounds like an interesting way of doing directional kicking. I've trained similar things in the past, but not exactly this.

I am going to try it!
