I like it as a drill....as a technique not so much. Having come from a shotokan background and moving into MMA I have learned the importance of range. I don't like being so close when I throw the mawashi keri.

poor sweeping application, seems as a mere distraction for a follow-up strike. So technically it's not a sweep, most of them are not even hooking the back of the foot. I'm sure this school has great intentions; however, awarding a black belt shouldn't be so easily gained to those who are not ready yet. There's no rush in martial arts, belt colour will never matter in comparison to skill level.

Second technique assumes that one will stand there and watch you switch step and let you kick them in the ankle before they can punch or move inside your kick. Not likely. Shotokan has some decent stuff... this is not it.

The first application is plain bonkers. You go through all that work to land ONE counterpunch? Come, on. since you are already grabbing th guy's arm, why not pull it in, since he made the stupid mistake of tying to block your jab? Then, the silly arm punching employed in that application might have some payoff.

@brunolp18 I hear what you are saying...but I rarely fight or spar people who stand in zenkutsu dachi with that big front leg sticking out there. Applying ashi barai to an opponent with a shortened stance puts me in way too deep. I was also taught that ashi barai should be used sparingly on a foot that is rooted. This is why I find it very appealing as a drill, but its application in motion rather than static seems wanting to me.

@MrConan1985 I'm guessing here... but I see it as a tap that prevents them from turning into you, and prevents them twisting on the ball of the foot for a strong hook counter punch

[brunolp18]

@renshiboom But you would only be that close if you use the guard break he uses as a second movement, right after the stance shift. He applies the ashi-barai (sweep) so he can enter the opponent's perimeter and deliver the mawashi-geri. Otherwise, you apply the kyazu-mawashi-geri, which is the mawashi with the rear leg, since you have to be close to use the front leg (oi-mawashi).

you cannot grab and attack in kyokushin competition.

@MrConan1985 It seems that he is being a good training partner and not going too hard for the drill. But the sweep when done with power and timing it can takedown your opponent and hurts the ankle. In this case with the kick after , the sweep is a set up. search: frank Brennan for good examples of this combo used in tournaments!

[MrConan1985]

whats the point in the sweep if you can't throw your op. off balance. the sweep doesn't look like it does anything to the opponent ,not having a go just trying to understand?

OK, Flat footed, sweeping with a square hip, throwing a lame round punch with no foundation.........wow, have you looked at your vid? When Mr. public sees the stuff you’re doing he thinks all Martial Arts are that bad. You go thru the motions but I bet in a real fight you would get your butt handed to you and I bet deep down in your heart you know it. You need to look for a real source to “drink from”, swallow your pride and strive to change your bad habbits.
