Хорошая техника!

Erm......the yoko kekomi geri seems to be being executed at an odd angle.......Surely as it is a side thrust kick, it should be heading towards the makiwara at a different angle to the way it is, which looks more like half a ushiro geri.....?

I trained under many Sensei including Kanazawa, Enoeda, Kase, and Asano, and never saw any of them execute a side kick as portrayed in this video.

@JKAOrkney What is the wood please?

@MesYang88 hardening the blade of your foot. a bag would be more effective to build power but it dosent harden your foot like a makiwara.

[MesYang88]

Could anyone give me a good reasoning for doing a side kick on a makiwara?

these techniques are in the UFC already... vitor belfort, and lyto machida both use this technique and im not 100% sure but i think shogun rua has had training too.
