 40 Punch Kick Target Karate Tae Kwon Do Kenpo Bag  US $140.00

I learned this type of kick some forty years ago in the Kang Duk Won Korean Karate. This was the forerunner of Tae Kwon Do, and the unfortunate truth is that these kicks aren't practiced anymore. Why, I don't know, because this type of kick is the hardest kick, the fastest kick I know.
I call this move, no matter what type of martial art you do it with, the pop kick. Whether you do a wheel, a side, or a snap, the basic principle doesn't change. You replace the left foot with the right foot, and place the right foot on the target...this all has to happen simultaneously.
By same time I mean that the left foot and the right foot start together, and the right foot hits the ground at the same time the left foot impacts. By doing it in this fashion the whole body gets smaller at the same time, then the whole body explodes. This causes a very pure energy pop in the energy center, which is a point a couple of inches below the navel, which is also called the tan tien.
In addition to the purity of explosion you will feel in the tan tien, which will tend to concentrate energy in the kick, you will experience a sudden weight on the support leg at the same moment you experience weight in the kicking leg. This sudden weight tends to make the explosion of energy even more pure and violent, and yet tends to control it precisely. This will supercharge your technique.
If you are doing this technique with a snap kick, make sure you get the knee high enough so that the foot comes in straight, and doesn't slide up the front of the target. If you are doing a side kick, make sure you turn the hips so that the weight of them really slams into the target. If you are doing a wheel kick, make sure you get the hips up high enough so that the kick can fly in truly horizontal.
The fourth technique would be a spin pop to the rear, and uses the side kick. You would practice all four kicks against a wall, learning how to lift legs simultaneously, and place the feet on the wall and the ground at the same time. You don't have to hit the wall with power, save that for a bag, control will actually give you more power in the end.
We used to have all kinds of set ups for these techniques. We would slap the attacker's guard hands as we pre-stepped, and the we would do it subtle, and then be in the kick before the target knew we were on our way. As we practiced the explosion would get finer and more pure and more full of energy.
Make sure you use this technique in a variety of stances, and you will have a much larger arsenal of martial arts weapons. This is a great technique to practice, and it is born of the successful merger of karate power and TKD kicks. Japanese martial arts or Korean martial arts, this is the hardest kick, and the fastest kick, and perhaps the most effective leg technique I know.

Excerpt: In martial arts, combat sports, and violence, a kick is a strike using the foot, leg, or knee (the latter is also known as a knee strike). This attack is often used in hand-to-hand combat, especially in stand-up fighting. Kicks play a significant part in many martial arts, such as Taekwondo, Karate, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Capoeira, Silat, Kalarippayattu, while other do not utilize kicks at all, such as judo or boxing. Some arts limit focus on specific targets for the use of kicks such as to attacks on the legs and lower body, while sport martial arts tournaments may only allow kicking above the waist. Various types of kick are described below, but the names used to describe a style of kick vary between arts. In Japanese, mae geri; in Korean, ap chagi. The Front Kick is considered the most basic of all kicks, but it also has wide variety in ways of execution. Delivering front kick involves rising a knee of striking leg to the position in which desired point-of-impact, one's foot and pelvis are on the same line. Then, one should straighten striking leg quickly and make contact with a target area. Generally, one will want to retract one's foot quickly by bending knee again, to prevent opponent from possibly grappling one's striking leg. Depending of fighter's tactical needs, front kick may involve less or more overall body motion. Thrusting one's hip forward in a short, powerful rotating motion is common method of increasing both ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=16831 |
