This kick is executed by first turning your head around, keeping an eye on your target. You turn your head simultaneously pivoting your body on the ball of the foot of you lead base leg so that the heel of your base leg is facing your opponent. Your kicking technique is then launched from rear-leg position, in side kick fashion
The turn-around side snap is a muscle-driven technique. Impact with this kick is made with the heel or the outside ridge of your foot. The ideal targets for the turn-around side snap are your opponent’s knee, midsection or head
The turn-around side snap can be used both offensively and defensively; it can be used as a single offensive movement or as a rapid combination of kicks alternating from one foot to the next. It can also be used defensively as a counter attack when your opponent is throwing a punch or a kick that leaves him …show more content…
You then launch your striking leg forward by quickly raising the knee of your striking leg up to the desired height (It all depends on where you planning to attack, be it the head, mid-section or legs). The lower section of your striking leg is then immediately snapped outward in the direction of your target. The front snap’s power is developed by a combination of upper-leg muscle strength and lower-leg snapping momentum.
The impact of the kick can be made with either the instep of your foot of the ball of your foot. To strike with the ball of your foot, you need to pull back your toes, exposing the ball of your foot. Performing the front snap with the ball of your foot is more advanced and takes additional practice. Through continued practice, however, the ability to instantly pull back your toes will become quite natural. The reason it is so important to pull back your toes (Even if you are wearing shoes), is that if you leave them in their naturally extended position, they can easily be broken when target impact is made.
The basic front snap is an ideal close-contact fighting weapon. As us commonly understood, a front snap to the groin of any individual is universally debilitating. Other close-contact targets for this kick include; the solar plexus, the stomach, or the bottom of your opponent’s …show more content…
The axe kick is performed by quickly raising your striking leg (Depending if your kicking with your front or rear leg), in a linear fashion, and then forcefully bringing your heel/ball of your foot, down onto the shoulder/chest/face of your opponent.
The basic axe kick is only effective in close-contact infighting situations, but it is quite easy to extend the range of this kick. Enter into a fighting stance and prepare to launch an axe kick from your preferred leg front of rear (although it’s mainly used with the rear leg). Now instead of performing it with your leg locked into position, visualize a target several feet in front of you. Quickly lift your striking leg. As you target.
There are two ways to execute an axe kick; the traditional axe kick is brought inward, across your body, and then down-ward onto its target. The out-to-in axe kick is swung outward and is then brought down onto you opponents shoulder. The out-to-in axe kick is also a close-contact infighting weapon. It can most effectively be dispatched when your attacker has been taken hold of your clothing, or you have hold on his. Then, like before, the kick is quickly brought up and delivered to your opponents shoulder
