JerryLove Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 In another style the intercepting kick is a kick thrown faster than the opponents attack to intercept his movements and hit first. Should I also presume that said kick is intended to prevent the opponent from completing his kick successfully? Or do you wish simply to hit him and then be hit by the technique. If your kick causes his kick to end, it's a stop-hit. You are using the same definition as I am. https://www.clearsilat.com
Martial_Artist Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 The definiton of a stop-hit is a kick that is used to kick the kick of your opponent, to stop the progression of his kick by kicking his calf, thigh to prevent his kick from moving towards you. An intercepting kick could be used to hit the opponent in a vital area(face, chest, stomach, groin) to intercept the kick and prevent it from doing any damage. Therefore, by certain definition, some being more specific than others, an intercepting kick is different from a stop-hit. So, I was correct when I made the distinction according to the way I use those terms. You may ambiguously use both interchangeably. I don't. So we are both right in our own spheres. I was demonstrating the need to clarify with your instructor how those terms are defined in the art you study. Because, as I have pointed out, for some whose definitions are specific the two terms are not interchangeable. And as you have demonstrated, for some the two terms are equal in meaning. So therefore, to be 100% clear ask your instructor for the meaning in the applications you will be learning.

JerryLove Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Actually, it seems our difference lies in the use of "stop hit". To me, a stop hit is any strike which stops a given action from completeing. It is funcationally a jam which is not maintianed. https://www.clearsilat.com
Pacificshore Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Oblique Kick: Somewhat like the TKD twist kick perhaps. Or a kick that is thrown at an off angle and contouring the opponents body. For example: a kick to the groin by angling the kick so that it runs up the inner portion of the opponent's thigh and strikes the groin. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia

JKDfreak Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 the hook kick in JKD is between the front kick and the roudhouse kick.It's a roundhouse but with a smaller arch and you don't really chamber your kicking leg as other kicks. Free your mind.Be shapeless,formless,like water.Bruce Lee
