That’s very true. Also, judo has wristlocks and gun defences.
Kage-zuki is hook punch, idk what uppercut is in japanese. Probably something along the lines of age-zuki (which is a different punch, not an uppercut).
Ive done both. In fact, i dazed and knocked a dojomate down with an uppercut two or three weeks ago.
kicking someone’s incoming leg kick with a inside knee kick
(they aim at your left leg. you kick their leg with your right leg)
that’s what i was told by a wing chun teacher to defend against thai kicks.
wow you must spar like a hundred times a week
Some of the classics here:
Tornado kick
Move spinning back kick
Front roundhouse (pure point sparring technique)
Spear hand
hey hey, don’t knock the spinning back/hook kicks.
it saved me in high school and once outside the club.
they are fun moves to do and work decently when used as follow-up
not very high % unless you’ve practiced them a ton but far from useless
I don’t mind a regular spinning back kick or the spinning hook kick. But none of those once they are changed to be flying kicks.
I might . . .might . . . use a flying side kick in some situation, but that’s about it.
TKD Defense to Kick to the groin while in horse riding stance …lean somewhat back and tilt your pelvid as forward as possible and clench your buttocks, which will absorb the kick, saving your nuts from the shin kick.
Although we protested, eventually we were couragous enough to attempt this, and stubborn enough to not give up till we mastered this sparring technique. The instuctors nearly pissed themselves laughing, and from that day forward I could hardly wait to become an instructor.
Funning thing is, shin kick to tail bone and clunched buttocks works. Go try it…curious arn’t you… going to bring this to a throwdown one day.
ura mawashi…
No pain,weak kick just good for taking points.
When I did TKD many years ago, I was told that dropping into horse riding stance is good for any situation. Being a naive 10 year old, who was I to question this grand master? Only until I quit did my uncles show me exactly why you’d be an idiot when given this situations:
2 assailants, potentially armed, there is going to be a fight :
strategy
Horse riding stance
I was taught this in Muay Thai. Front kick their thigh as they’re going to kick you. It’s tricky but I’ve seen it work several times.
Your not rooted into anything…there would be no power, really…
also, if you have room to do a flying side-kick, you have room to get the fuck away…
if you understand waht i’m saying.
No I hear you and I agree with you.
I was just thinking that out of all of the flying kicks that I learned that one has the highest percentage of being useful in a fight. Now that percentage might be like 3% instead of 0%, but it still has some usage in comparison.
its a move in savate, as well.
At the risk of sounding like a _unner, if your quick enough to do it, inside > outside…
I actually did one back kick a dude in the throat in an afterschool throwdown in Highschool, but now I would never try that crap.
My ultimate favorite. Catch an axe kick with your hands in a cup position. BREAK THE MOTHERFUCKERS ANKLE WITH JUST THE POWER OF YOUR WRISTS (since your arms are still up in the air).
I don’t believe I am EVER going to try that one.
Straight punch block:
First a jumping inside crescent kick to knock the punch out of the air before it hits you, then using that same leg ax kick them in the head before you touch the ground again.
we actually drilled this with partners; the room was filled with cries of “you’re not leaving your hand out long enough.” and “punch slower.”
oh I just remembered one.
Sorry for crappy english but I will try to tell you.
A mae-geri (front straigth kick) is thrown at you.
And you “catch” it with knee on the bottom of the kick and two punches united on top of ankle (punches are united like an “X”)
This both “hurts” your opponents foot and you “hold the leg you can do anything you want from that on” (no grappling and you can do all you want?)
Chongshindo in the UK.
Sidestep someones jab so you are out of view (standing to the side of them), punch to the body, then, with the still extended arm, break the elbow with a grab and straight palm hand, then arm lock them to the ground.
This was being taught to complete novices to fighting, as a valid “self defence” technique.
The insructor told me off for “resisting too much” as he would have already broken my elbow by then “you would not be able to resist, yes?”
If my jab was that lame that someone sidestepped around me, completely out of my view I’d be gutted enough as it is, but if I actually left my arm there as well and allowed him to break my elbow, I’d probably shoot myself way before he could finish the fight.
I nearly cried with disbelief… then never went back.
Admittedly, this technique was shown to me from a low-ranking student of a kenpo dojo… as I didn’t get the technique demonstrated by an instructor, i will withhold judgement…
…basically, when the attacker throws punch at your head, the technique is to drop to your knees, in order that the punch flies over your head. Then once on your knees, you are to grab the attacker behind his knees and launch your head into his groin area in a forehead groin strike sort of thing, while pulling from behind the knees, this is also supposed to affect some sort of takedown. My pal attempted to demonstrate this on a girl when we were in high school… she didn’t say “ouch”…she DEFINITELY did not fall down… My pal DID go to the office for sexual harassment after planting his face in her groin with extreme prejudice in the presence of onlooking administrators.
