Roundhouse Kick in Koden Kan Martial Arts
Hello! I’m Madison Warner and I’ve been instructing over 10 years under Michael M. Foley system of Koden Kan Karate and if you’d like to see more about us on our website please go to h2hctc.com or mellei.com. One thing that you need to remember if you’re going to learn any type of martial arts is the responsibility that comes along with it, what we’re teaching you can be deadly potentially and you need to make sure that you’re only using for self defense. Alright this kick is roundhouse kick and it can be very powerful if he’s properly, you’re going to step back with your right foot just for practicing purposes, you can actually step back with your left if you want, okay get into your zenkutsu stance, knee bent, hands up in the set position. What you’re going to do is lift your knee in front of your body, point your toes because we’re going to hit with the in step of the foot and then you’re going to pivot with your bottom foot, bring your heel towards your target on the floor, you’re going to bring your knee towards your target, okay point your knee towards your target and here you want your hip to be in between your head and your knee, bring your foot back as far as it can go and then you’re going to kick, unpivot and then bring it down. Okay so hands up, bring it up, pivot your foot on the bottom and point your knee forward toward your target and get your hips in the middle so you’re in a line, here I point towards you and kick, okay unpivot and down. One more time, don’t get discourage this one is really hard to learn, up, pivot and you’re going to kick and if you’re wondering what it looks like altogether, how can I do damage with that to a bad guy, okay bring your knee up and it’s going to snap so it’s going to be a fast out and back kick, also your hips turn into it as your leg comes out so that adds power, bring it up and kick, alright that is the roundhouse kick.
