A good concept is to use kicks like these to fill the gap when separation opens up between opponents.

That kick took me by surprise. I didn't even see it coming.

@dss103 As the set-up involves him moving in after the right kick, I would think it's only successful if they think the motion has stopped and are attacking. It's like you are countering the cross with the side kick, as opposed to them evading the round kick, you keep spinning and they keep moving, evading your left turning back kick. Let's say, after the right round kick, you switch back to orthodox (eg, move your right foot back). Switching back could be what they expect you to do.

@Anandfulness obviously there are many variations in combat and ofcourse you could parry the jab and drive forward.. however he was using the most common reactions.

Erik Paulson is the truth!

Somehow I get the feeling that Paulson was really annoyed.

@dss103 Side kicks can hit quite hard, actually, and you can even slide-step into them. That's a pretty decent set-up that I've been trying to pull off at TKD sparring lately. It's hard for me being a muay thai guy, standing square and catching kicks to the body and being evaded, so you gotta work out quick ways of advancing on someone with light feet and catching them when they come in to pepper you.
