Forward Snap Kick in Koden Kan Martial Arts
Hi! I’m Madison Warner and I’ve been teaching for over 10 years in Michael M. Foley system of Koden Kan Karate and if you’d like to see more about our style you can go to h2hctc.com or you can go to my website which is mellei.com. Today I’m going to teach you your first kick which is forward snap kick, okay you’re going to step back into your zenkutsu stance, remember this is at an angle you can think of it as if you had two other feet, it would make a square okay that’s how I think of it, keep your feet straight forward and you’re just going to bring your hands up in front here for a guard and what you’re going to do is you’re going to bring your knee up in front and you’re going to do a snap with you know the ball of your foot, bring your knee up, snap and this strike goes to the chin, okay you’ll bring it up and kick. You’re kicking with the ball of your foot, do this part here…if you pull your toes back and I’ll show you one from the side, knee up…kick…and I’m doing it in a non fluid type of motion just to show you what’s going on there and if you want me to do it full speed, I don’t know did you catch that? Bring your knee up…and kick…alright and that is forward snap kick.
