NewLevel Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hey guys...My sensei taught us a new kick this week which is a low in-step kick to the legs...inside or outside.Is this only part of bunkai or are there certain katas that include this? Does these low leg kicks exist in Shorin Ryu? Thanks!

joesteph Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I don't know Shorin Ryu, NewLevel, but your OP made me think of a women's self-defense kick by Mallory Senne, whose background is in aikido and kyusho. It's at:http://www.ehow.com/video_4949101_self-defense-ankle-breaks.htmlIs this the kick you're referring to? It really looks effective. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei_Suzy Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 In Shorin Ryu (the particular style I study anyway) we practice kicks that can be used on any part of the body. A low kick like that may be used to injure a knee joint, and the same kind of kick may be used to knock a person out by hitting the side of their head. Not sure if this answers your question...but to the extent of my knowledge there is no specific name for a low kick such as the one you described other than "low round kick." "We do not do karate.

tallgeese Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I don't know how it falls in that particular style syllabis, but lots of groups use rounds to the leg. Most will utilize it at a bit deeper range and make use of the shin as a striking surface. The small bones of the foot, or instep, are much more likely to become injured during a kick to a solid, mass heavy target. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does these low leg kicks exist in Shorin Ryu? Thanks!I'd have to see the kick to be sure of course, but yes, Shorin Ryu certainly has low kicks to the inside and outside of the leg.

NewLevel Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 I haven't found anything particular on the net for a video to show this...but its starts from a front stance, you then twist the lead leg foot and kick with the back. So it sounds definitely like a round kick?It can be used to take out a knee, the side of the shin or sweep...etc. "In time of grave public crisis, one must have the courage to face a million and one opponents..." - Gichin Funakoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instep link is at:http://www.ehow.com/video_4949097_self-defense-round-house-kicks.htmlThe kick I had inadvertedly linked to uses the insole and the "blade" of the foot, and does look effective, but it's not what you were referring to. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryu5toforever Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 That description definitely sounds like a round kick. He who knows others is wise.

NewLevel Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 The style and curriculum we practice is Kenshin Kan Shorin Ryu...Is the step over kick similar to a round kick?
