Yokogeri Kekomi - Injury Prevention Self defense

[christianbrecht]

muchas gracias. very informative.

[hippocanjump]

Totally agree with this concept. I teach the same way. Never thought though about possible hip injury.

a very good video, very informative.

also, is it just me or is the brown belt leaning back a bit too much?

Sensei o o yokogeri kekomi deve ser executado para o externo do adversario, de maneira a abrir-lhe o peito e postriormente a fazer com que ele nao volte mais a respirar, e nao como voce esta a ensinar dizendo que é para a anca ou para os abdominais, dessa forma nao tera eficacia absolutamente nenhuma.

No pude traducir en su totalidad este comentario, agradeceria si alguna persona lo tradujera al espanol o ingles.

soares199411 said in portuguese, not in spanish, thus why you couldn't understand. He basicaly said that the yokogeri that you have shown is effectless for being directed to the hips and belly, for, he sais, it should be directed to the chest so the opponent would stop breathing. I desagree, great vídeo.

Dice que el yoko geri kekomi debe ser ejecutado a un punto vulnerable del cuerpo donde le quite la respiracion y no a la pierna o alos abdominales

@makiwarashotokan

He said that the point of kekomi is to attack the center of the opponent's chest, in order to make him not able to breathe. Not attacking at the abs like you said.

I particularly think that both ways are correct. I was taught just like you showed at the video.

Haora que vuelvo a mirar el vid aunque el metodo es correcto tambien no se pierde un poco de velocidad

Sensei is tis the shotokan way that kangawa shows in the book scientific karate?

[makiwarashotokan]

I havent seen that book. The karate We do is Sensei Nishiyama's traditional karate, Shotokan style, probably the same as Kagawa's.
