iolair Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Most of my kicks are delivered from the lead leg, I particularly drill front, roundhouse, hook and side kicks. It may make a difference that I'm a right-hander who leads with my right side... Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.

rb Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 For me it's about 60/40 back/front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kataman Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I like to use my front leg in fighting especially after a hand combination. I don't train for belt color I train to survive on the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 For me, the lead leg kick is effective during sparring. I'm not sure if I can generate the same kind of power from it as with the back leg though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasori_Te Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 smr, I don't believe that the front leg kick was meant to generate a tremendous amount of power. Like I said earlier I equate learning karate like learning to be a carpenter. You make sure you have your tools. You learn how to use them and then you use specific tools for specific jobs. Although sometimes a master carpenter can use a hammer like a saw if he has to. *S* A block is a strike is a lock is a throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
