bushido_man96 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 ...Being able to break boards with that kick, though, would be cool.A lad at my club did that, it was only a thin pine board though and he had to drill the kick for months before getting it right No doubt! I can do the kick better low than I can high. Don't quite have that flexibility, yet. I will work on it, though.I am going to start practicing my scissor kick as well! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Well, I played with this kick before class last night. I must admit, that I think I can talk it/teach it better than I can do it myself!I did the drill on the ground that Doug suggested, and I will continue to do that to get the move down right. When jumping, I get the scissor action going, but the twist kick doesn't get up there very well.Need more stretching, and more practice. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I worked on this technique some more on the the 21st (Yesterday), and got gradually better.I found that practicing just the chambering motions, using the violent motion and explosive jump, helps to get those initial motions down.I will keep practicing! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yeah I've been working on it a lot too. I've found that its also made me a lot more concious of how I'm moving my leg during a normal, standing side kick. Anyone else found anything like this?

bushido_man96 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 ^^^Hehe, not so much with the standing side kick, but moreso with the twist kick.I really felt that I could focus the jumping and chambering movements a lot more when just jumping and scissoring my knees, as opposed to doing the whole kick, at this point. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Kicking without kicking, lol, using just the knees, makes sure you don't fall over "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rateh Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Lol, thats how I teach the stepping roundhouse sometimes. I think in tkd its called a turning kick. If kids keep getting the basic movements incorrect, sometimes I make them practice the kick without extending the leg. So they too are "kicking without kicking". Its a great way to get basic movements down before learning the actual kick. Oh, and I tried the twisting kick with the side kick. I can do it kinda, but it's very sloppy. Ofc I didn't stretch out first and that might help.

bushido_man96 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I actually got the idea of practicing the jumping and chambering from the Grandmaster Hee Ill Cho's book The Complete Master's Jumping Kick. In this book, he does a very good job of breaking down the various parts of the kicks, and in practicing them, recommends practicing jumping and chambering, without the kick. This ensures that you are getting your chambers into the proper postition, which in the end, facilitates a better kick. He also has a book called The Complete Master's Kick, in which he does much the same, but just with standing kicks. Everything from the front kick up to the spinning heel kick. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
