karatekid1975 Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 We use our hip. The supporting foot turns away from the target, and we turn our hips over for power. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niel0092 Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Power is from the hips, supporting foot turns more like 135 degrees to 170 if 0 degrees is faceing the target and 90 is directly to the side.

Neil Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 No. It comes from you waist. Do not do the classic Shotokan mawashi geri. First you move th waist and let the the rear leg catch up and throw all your bodyweight DOWN. Remember all kicks travel down never up like you see in all the van damn films, thats why you have fists! The ontact is made either with top of shin or knee. It is definatly a close-range kick at its most effective tool. Your body should be side on now. Turn the body forward as you snap the kick back so you are ready to do a front kick. Then place it down. If you ever travel to Malaysia you will see probobly the best executers of a proper round house kick. Ther Muay Thai fighters. You will never see them using their hips only their waists.

Withers M.A.A. Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 In TKD we use our hips more than most other styles. Your hip should point at your target before the rest of you leg follows. Swing your hip into it and if done correctly you'll notice much more power.
