Most martial artists, depending on the style of martial arts, must master various kicking techniques. Martial arts kicks offer martial arts competitors the ability to score on an opponent. Basic kicks such as the side kick, front kick and push kick are excellent for competition but are very practical for self-defense situations such as a street fight. Learning these basic kicks is fairly easy especially with martial arts tips from a black belt who teaches martial arts instructors how to teach. Learn how to do various martial arts kicks in this free video series featuring World Champion eighth-degree black belt and martial arts instructor John Graden. Graden demonstrates how to do a knee strike, how to do a front kick, how to do a side kick and how to practice these kicks on a kick shield along with self defense escapes, hand strikes for sport and self defense along with martial arts workout routines to help keep you motivated for exercise.
This is another version of the hook as taught by John Graden. Regardless if you are doing tae kwon do, karate, kickboxing, mma, kenpo or any other striking art, this hook punch is more akin to an Ali speed hook rather than the Joe Frazier power hook covered in another video by John Graden.
