Round Kick Moves for Krav Maga

Hi! I am Steve “The Dragon” Jimenez along with Heath Jones. In this segment, we are going to go over a round kick. Round kick is very similar to the front kick, it begins the exact same way. The only thing is there is a pivot involved, which turns the body and turn it into a horizontal somewhat of a horizontal angled kick. What we are going to be targeting in this one is the knee and the reason why is because you know that the wrong kicks the body cannot be good, it can break some ribs, but what if the assailant that you have has very fast reflexes you are throwing a wrong kick and now you are putting your leg a lot closer to the hands where they can grab you and possibly take you to the ground. In a street fight you do not want to be on the ground, I don't care how good you are on the ground it's just not the best place to be. You want to be on your feet, being able to fight, fight, fight, attack, attack and attack and be able to get away. Okay so now from here, I am going to go over the front kick, it is just like the front kick, very similar to the front kick, so from here I am going to come straight up. Knee comes up first, that is the first point of the motion here. As my knees comes out just as if I were delivering a round kick. From here my base foot, which is down there, the foot that is still attached to the ground. From here I am going to pivot or rotate and make contact right here. We are going to go, right to the knee, the reason why we are going to the knee, it does not take many points of pressure to break the knee. So as I come straight across I can actually throw him off balance possibly coming in with some more combat as here with the knee.
