If I'm feeling up for it I'll do combos of the jumping kicks aswell.....still trying to master getting more than 1" off the ground...lol
Maybe if I come off the Silentmonk eating plan I should be able to shed a few stones and do better!!!
This is true, but then if you wanna drop below the 8% body fat that its creator carries, then thats fine by me Those measures i gave you were weekly figures not daily entity
To the sound of the opening credits for the A-TEAM: Ten years ago, a skinny boy was sent to McDonalds by his mother for a big Mac he couldn't handle. This boy quickly became overweight turning into a massive pie! Today, still wobbling down the road, heckled by passers by and young kids. If you are overweight, resemble a pie, or worse look like SILENT MONK, maybe you can buy some...
You consider the axe kick to be the same as the straight leg kick? I thought there was a difference in how you brought the leg up, (inside or outside, but not straight up) as well as a difference in the direction of force (down, not up). Whick knee kick? Front or side? Isn't there a back kick that is like a side and a front (hips turned differently)?
OK, straight leg kick. Suppose an inside or outside is more like a real axe kick anyway just with the emphasis on pulling it down. Front Sorry, I don't follow you? Basically just kicking behind you with heel pointing up. I generally do what is known as a back side kick though which is just a side kick behind you really.
I might be reading this wrong but my impression of a back kick was just a side kick except to the back with the foot parallel to the ground...like the pic below:
Depends who you talk to really. A lot of people call that a back side kick, that's what I do as a back kick. I don't like the foot pointing down way to be honest.
Maybe feel guilty for missing out on the conditioning aspect of low kicks, but you've got a better chance of tearing someone's ACL/MCL with a low kick to the knee than knocking them out with a kick to the head.
Yeah I've seen different people do it different ways. I've tried it with the foot pointing down but it didn't feel right....... Kinda felt like I was a donkey kicking back.....ok come on Silent....hit me with your jokes....
The shape of the heal fits perfectly below the sternum at the solar plexus. It's a great target for a back kick.
Pretty much what Kiseki describes, although with the two and three kick combos, we're just told to make them distinct levels. It could be ankle level, knee level; knee level, belt level; belt level, chest level; or higher. The seven kicks we usually do with it are straight leg kick, inside kick, outside kick, front kick, side kick, roundhouse kick, and hook kick. We've sometimes done both front and side knee kicks as well, although I don't think I've seen them drilled quite this way.
Those are the exact 7 that I have been doing. What are these knee kicks you are talking about? The only one I have ever done is the one where you pull your knee just like a straight leg kick with the knee bent, while at the same time pulling a shadow foes face into it.
I'm normally not a double poster, but I'm not sure it counts since I've been to a lesson since the last one... Is it possible to do a combo of multiple basic kicks that includes side kick? Its the only one of the bunch that is held off to the side, making it difficult to figure out how to add another one to it.
Front kick, side kick Side kick, round kick Side kick, hook kick Inside kick, side kick You might have to reposition your leg and hip a bit between the kicks, but that is one of the lessons of multiple kicks.
knee kicks Right. In a side knee kick, imagine that you are kicking his abs with your knee, and he is a bit turned to the side.
