Same here, if I'm kicking it's usually to your legs.

Same here, if I'm kicking it's usually to your legs.Same here as well. Because of my limited TKD experience, I've still got a wickedly fast change-up roundhouse. Not many expect that from me because of my Okinawan background. I can be sneaky at times! **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaine Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The thing about side kicks is that they are easily telegraphed because there is a little more set up in them than there is in a round house kicks. Front kicks are effective and they are fast as well, but sometimes are harder to do any significant damage on them. No one said that roundhouse kicks were their fastest kick, just that it is a fast kick to pull off in a pinch.

JusticeZero Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The setup for a rount kick (martelo) for me is just walking, so fast or not it isn't that big a deal. It's useful for some things.I don't do a sidekick, so I can't comment on it.I don't train to fight. I train to break things that are stopping me from leaving. Big difference. The world isn't Tekken.

sensei8 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, during his PKA days, executed some of the most difficult kicks, especially the roundhouse and hook kick, with ease as well as them being extremely fast, 60 mph, to the head level. **Proof is on the floor!!!

I had the privilege of attending one of his seminars in Texas. It was amazing.

Dobie1979 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I like my roundhouse kicks to be directed towards the legs and inner thighs. Now in sparing I don't try for the inner thighs, do to the risk of accidently catching my partner in the pills. Round house can be a very powerful kick even when in close.

MaxMarks Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The round kick is a staple kick. Because it does take a little time it usually has to be dressed up in a sparring match to land but in a self defense situation you would probably get a long way with just the round kick. I got hit in the head Tuesday night with one by someone who wasn't trying to knock me out and it was no fun (the stars were pretty though.) So, yeah, fire away: legs, ribs, head. What ever you can do. What ever is open. The mission of my blog is to explore the connection between the skills learned in the dojo as a student of the martial arts and the skills that lead to a successful life. https://www.lifeskillsfromthedojo.comhttps://www.facebook.com/lifeskillsfromthedojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
