Karate is like an explosion, not like paint drying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muaythaifreak Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 your foot should pivot as you kick, place it as said before at about ten o'clock, but don't stop there. As your kick continues towards, into and through the target, your foot should also pivot so that at the end of the kick your foot is facing almost completely away from the target. This will facilitate proper rotation of the hips. And don't kick your target, kick through your target. A proper round kick (in muay thai anyway), should arc so that the bony part of the shin is brought into contact with the target and not the muscular area on either side of it. Leg kicks are easiest to do this with as the arc does not need to go as high. The more you pivot your foot, the more your hips will rotate, i.e. the more power your kicks will have. Pain is temporary, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars!-=pain is weakness leaving the body=-If there's lead in the air, there is hope in the heart!

Xerxes Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I can do many of those kicks Bruce Lee can and its acheivable by ballistic streching. Before you do any workout go up to a wall and have both hands on the wall. Then start swinging you leg back and forth for about 10 -12 times each leg. Then after that form a karate front stance and swing you leg as high as you can and tuck your hips under your leg. Do this 10-12 times both legs. Those are two very rudimentry streches for high kicking. Then after you are done training or working out then do static streching. Static streching is your splits, chinese splits, hurdle strech hamstring and quadricep steches etc. etc. Static streching releives the lactic acid that forms in your body after a workout/training session anyway so its good to do. Its very simple you can just strech to do the high kicks, if you want to kick then simply kick as high as you can until you can kick higher and higher. Pretty soon you will develop more balance and coordination too. Good luck on becoming a better kicker and practitioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenStar Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 practice. that's about it. the best way to improve kicking is to kick. time yourself - kick the bag as hard and as fast as you can with good technique in two mins or so. Write down how many you threw - keep a log of it. each time you train, try to beat your previous record. You may also want to add plyometrics to your training, if you haven't already.

AnonymousOne Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Say "I will" instead of "I wish" and start training until you drop and proceed again soon with the same strict regiment 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul.
