Favourite kick

[ACP]

My favorite is the one that fits at the time.
But, if I had to choose before attacking it would be Front Thrust to stop-hit.
Second would be the cross stomp kick to the shin.

[Garland]

mine would be the teap kick or stomp side kick to a head on a curb. Smiley face.

[Yu Law]

Low Thai kick, side kick to the knee, teeps to the legs, and sikaran style scoop kicks to the legs and groin.

And soccer kicks and stomps.

Can u elaborate or post a link to the scoop kicks? I've never heard of them and i'm really interested. Anyways, I've always loved the axe kick and both the inside and outside crescent kicks, I've always been able to execute them pretty well.

i have never really felt the crescent or axe kicks to be that practical.
Considering that they are some of the slowest kicks ( crescent kick makes a circle instead of a straight line, therefore takes the longest route)
You need to forfeit balance ( balancing on one leg and throwing the kicks pretty damn high in the air, just a little shove by the opponent or catching of the leg... and down you go )
And they are hard to get some solid power out of ( say unlike a roundhouse, which you have the twisting of the trunk , throwing of the whole upper body to give it power )

Could you please give my some circumstances in which you have used these techniques effectively?

with respect.

Yep, definetly a powerful kick

A strong kick like that to the knee cap or thigh, the guy is going down hard.

[viralhed]

yeah it is powerful..i just tend to kick at the bag..and barely tap it with my heel, i just have to learn to kick it HARD lol..and also learn to draw back quickly like i do with my punches

Looks a bit like Kansetsujeri... Generally you don't need to "go after it" if you time it just right and INTERCEPT as he plants his foot down your low side kick will hyper extend the knee if not destroy it. It's a destruction technique from Jujutsu....

Good stuff and my personal favorite.

spinning whip kick.. fast and incredibly powerful.
stepping side kick.. super powerful.

ok now we're talking my area of expertise here

for ring fighting a rear leg round house to the face or body, a spining hook kick or back kick or an axe kick forget crescent kicks and someone lets you hit them with a front kick to the body they do not know how to fight that is such a basic stop hit that if you can't read it or the timing you need to train more. I koed a guy (body kick) with a front leg side kick so they are grerat if you have power and also make better stop hits than front kicks to the body harder to read and a better line.
for street stuff the rear leg round house to the inside of the knee joint the stomp kick (ghost kick) to the knee, a front stomp kick is nice too and the old front snap kick to the grion is a good one too.

I like practicing a jumping rear teep alot on the bag. With the step and launch into it. Vewy powerful.

[kanik]

my favourite kick? My favourite Practical kicks would be front kick, side kick, hook, and MT roundhouse. Favourite impractical kicks would be 540 a kick were you jump kick and land with the same leg while doing a 540 degree turn and horizontal in the air (known as parafuso in capoeira), Jakcknife which is kinda like a 540 with three kicks, butterfly kicks, and a butterfly twist kick(butterfly twist foloowed with a kick).

I like non-stop front kicks !! but training for balance is very important !

Kuntao kicks.

Very powerful and effective low-line kicks that are excellent for close quarters. You could control the weapon hand of an attacker and at the same time still attack and damage his knees, instep, shins, etc. Kneeing has its place too, but if I'm not going for the balls, low line kicks of the kuntao variety have proven to be invaluable.
