bushido_man96 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 When we push kick, its usually with a front kick, but side kicks end up pushing quite often, too, just to control them more in sparring. We revolve the leg like you do your piercing kicks. We don't really call anything a "piercing" kick, though, but that's what we do in forms and basics.I remember seeing someone in the past bring up the difference between piercing and thrusting, but don't recall it. We teach a side kick, and its basically done as a side piercing kick. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ah yeah sorry the piercing thing is ITF terminology. We don;t really have plain side kicks, they're always a specific type of side kick. The piercing term I think is what everyone else would consider a normal side kick. At the end of the day it's semantics again.
