YoungMan Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Well, since the original question was "what is your favorite kick?", not "what is the best kick for knocking out an opponent", you are perfectly entitled to call the tornado kick your favorite kick. To each his own. There is no martial arts without philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTTKDKing Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 My favorite kick in sparring is a push kick at about chest level. It's always great to throw that kick and watch the shock wave from the massive impact. I like a ballet kick for demos though. And for those of you who don't know a ballet kick in my school is a tornado kick with an extra 180 degree turn after the kick. I'm kinda big so that looks inpressive when I do it.

Sabumnim Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Remember kiddies favouritism is dangerous................ I think the axe kick is over rated, and acrobatic kicks are just showy in an actual match, just go in and get the job done. In my opinion flashy kicks in a sparring competition just identify weakness in the user, I don't know at this moment how to put it exactly but it does in the majority of cases imply a deficiency somewhere. If I'm pushed I like the back kick, it is the perfect ambush weapon when the opponent thinks they're in control and coming forward, then you put it anywhere that's open (and legal!! ), it has a good balance between speed and power.But as long as you're winning nobody can criticise you.....
