i thought this is a side kick

Danielson your focus needs more focus

If this kick lands with the heel like it was intended and not the sole then it has knock out power.
-
@maofas I agree, for point sparring it's a beautiful and dynamic technique if executed well, but in 99% of the time for real life or full contact a slap in the face would be a better technique.

@costeastalker nope

fuck this is yoko gery

@delirio1987 You didn't read the part where I said I'm actually good at this kick. It's worthless outside of light contact point fighting, but I don't think you'd understand it even if I took the effort to type it all out a second time. Not disagree mind you, but fail to even understand.
-
@maofas this kick is effective beacause it is difficult to parry and it strikes a precise weak spot like the temple or the back of the head. it also opens the opponent's guard for a follow up kick.
why kickboxers don't use it? i don't know, but you can solve your doubt by actually tryig this kick in combat and see what comes out. if it works good, if it doesn't never mind, but don't claim this kick doesn't work before you tried it.

@delirio1987 How does that even remotely apply? This technique is 100% *legal* in kickboxing formats. Yet no one is using it. GEE I WONDER WHY. There are plenty of people in kickboxing with karate backgrounds, so it's not for lack of knowing the kick.

@maofas kickboxing rules actually forbid every effective technique to prevent serious injuries and death. stop spouting bullshit now, please
@maofas Yeah, you can just get heel kicked in your jaw or temple - sure, nothing serious...

@maofas Why do you assume that I practice point sparring? And did I say the kick was powerful? I was trying to tell you that it's not a good kick for point sparring. It's like using a groin kick in sparring. In Karate you fight without any pads and guards, I guess you know that. Besides, why do you tell me to start sparring under kickboxing rules in a comment for a karate kick video? And FYI - I was training original Karate in Okinawa for more than 5 years, and there was no point sparring there.
