A tutorial on fast turning kicks used in karate, but which can also be applied to other martial arts. The master is Japanese and the cut is from a Japanese entertainment feature show. I don't have enough time to try and translate what he is saying, but you can work it out from his actions what he is trying to express. (If anyone wants to add a Japanese translation in the comments, go ahead!).

Kick like Karate not Muaithai. Always chamber the knee when you throw roundhouse kick. Not necessary for Low kick though I still do chamber the knee alittle

Without doubt one of the best kickers around, regardless of your style or discipline this man is fantastic, great technique, a credit to his style and a credit to Karate.

@timmythealien 16 жыл бұрын

He explains how to execute the technique a few times. He explains how you lift the knee up with your leg tucked in, extend your leg out to use a snapping motion, tuck it back in, and return to the stance. Keep in mind that this is a former world champion. His flexibility, strength, and technique are absolutely amazing.

Food for thought: no martial art is useless, it all comes down to the individual practising the style and 'how' they use it. There's techniques and applications that can work in most real life situations but it is up to the practitioner to choose which technique and it's application, to use.

Kyokushin is a style. It is one of the hardest, if not the hardest karate style. Invented and made famous by the "God Hand" himself Mas Oyama. It incorporates some Tai Chi elements in it. (Especially breathing techniques) One of the key markers you're kyokushin practitioner, without testing his skills, is the Gi. (form and markings)

This kick is used constantly in MA competitions to knock out opponents effectively. It just isn't overused in kyokushin, like, say, TKD head kicks. I know. I am a current TKD practitioner (6 years) and way too many people I've sparred use head kicks too much when a body kick would be the better choice. Oh well, I guess thats what happens when your MA overall focuses on being fancy and not practical. But I don't regret my training, it has made me quite flexible. I like to learn kyokushin though

@motorola59 14 жыл бұрын

For the those who don't respect this clip, let me put in my two cents as to why this is one hell of a kick. Yes, there are two sticks (seem to be bats) but here's the kicker (npi) there is nothing holding the top of the bats that will brace them for impact. Therefore, his kick has to be faster than the bats can react by leaning or tilting with his kick. So, the bats break before they even realize they've been hit. Great speed, he has.

@disinferno06 14 жыл бұрын

Exactly. Even in competitions, high kicks can create a problem for the person throwing them. If you throw a high kick, your center of gravity has shifted and you now have less to balance on. At our gym we had a lot of people that would learn to throw high kicks, and throw them all the time. These people were also the people who got planted on their butts the most. But hey, I'm sure some internet ninja will tell me idk what i'm talking about

Very well said my friend. As I said, I originally posted the comment in response to someone that said "just the kick" would be very effective in a street fight (that comment has been removed) and I simply disagreed. It sounds like you know what you are talking about. As you know high kicks in the street create a disadvantage for you.

@UnleashedTraining101 4 жыл бұрын

You're right about his actions translating for him. He's talking about getting the knee high on the chamber and using the follow through to snap the kick. Using the momentum of the knee lift. Something to that effect. I'm better with Korean, but also speak a little Japanese.

Yes, I think he's suggesting to work on knee chambering 30 times in one session.

We don't use a point system in Pwang Gai Nun Ryu (Uechi Ryu), so if someone in the dojo wants to do kumite, they have to use protective gear (and we have a couple black belts I wouldn't let kick me with a double layer of padding!) Shihan makes a point of getting us to use hip movement; that roundhouse kick in this video is a good example, but we try to get the sokou-sen for contact (no, I can't do it, just can't make my foot that way!) rather than the top of the foot.

To me- real world fights depend on your efficiency to take advantage of a situation to deliver decisive attacks to end the encounter as quickly as possible.Direct no frills contact will be more useful than any fancy moves you can throw out.Plus it takes a whole lot of mental strength to stay calm and control your nerves when your life is threatened

@IversonRockz for round kicks many styles use the ankle area or the shin bone. both require conditioning. some also use the ball of the foot similar to a front kick. using the actual top of the foot is normally not a good idea as it contains many small bones and the ankle tends to hyperextend. in the end you may need to choose what works best for your body and wether you will be wearing shoes or not. all styles come from different perspectives , but are all valid for different reasons.

@alwayscoolone If he had thrown that kick the same way he did in the video with the heel flat, he would have twisted his knee badly and probably injured it. Kyokushin has adopted a lot of the same mechanics of executing mawashi geri from Muay Thai after being some of the first karateka to take their challenge to fight, hence why their mawashi geri are different from other more traditional styles.

@Stopher804 a combination of exploding with the whole body (like a muay thai kick) and the swinging and followthrough of a kyokushin kick is the most powerful (the european kickboxing style is like that) traditional thai kicking is that they dont swing the lower part of the leg, they just explode with the hips and let the leg act like a pole the thing that makes the karate kick weaker is that they snap back

I trained at Kodokan style Judo and Ueshiba style Aikido for ten years, what I am pointing out is the sticks are thin at the bottom and thick at the top and will break easilly. I have been to karate demonstrations before and offered a length of mahogany for their demonstrations..it was declined. Morihei Ueshiba - The Founder of Aikido was undefeated in all diciplines that came to challenge him. Jigoro Kano's Judo was chosen to train the police force in Japan above the other martial arts.
