where is this school i wanna train their
-
it's a cummon kick between taekwondo and kungfu, guess karaté has it also !!
-
some schools don't lean on the sidekick its all a matter of style, i prefer not to lean
-
at my school they taught us not to lean on the side kick, to stand to the side, lift the knee up straight, and then remain as straight as you can and release the leg.
-
This is a good demonstration. But tell me, you weren't putting all of your power into the kick now were you?
-
Thank you for your insight.
-
stretching is necessary in order to give you th required flexibility but you also need good balance and practice in order to keep your leg up and extended for a longer time
-
You have to practice it many times.
-
train using slow kicks, they hurt like hell but it will help you to be able to do them.
-
I would keep doing the kick, as well as stretching. It's difficult for me to hold it up as he did as well.
I agree. Do you guys have a forum?

What are your thoughts on UFC not using as many kicks?
Lack of training for speed or the grapplers are to fast?

I think that over time the UFC has changed from being grappling to more mixed. I also feel that a good kicker is difficult to work against, but once you close the range you take out a huge part of their game.For me, being a good all rounder is the way forward. The UFC has a legacy from the Gracie's when they dominated the game.That Legacy was a good timed take down.Things are a little different today, but the legacy remains and people are so clued up on grappling and breaching that kicking range
