iolair Posted August 31, 2003 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.

kataman Posted September 2, 2003 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
Guest Posted September 2, 2003 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.
Sasori_Te Posted September 4, 2003 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.
