Kicks

The video shows all the kicking requirements for the new adult belt progression. While there is some detail about how to throw each kick, it is less an instructional video and more a presentation and an examination of the order that the kicks have been put in.

One very important thing to note is that technique alone is insufficient in our system. Students must be able to not only demonstrate technique but also be able to apply it against an actively resisting opponent. Maybe this is an obvious thing to say but I think it is worth repeating: you’ve got to be able to make this stuff work.

Comments and questions about individual techniques or the order that I’ve put them in are welcome.
