Training Summary:
Today we focused our training efforts on practicing the front kick and incorporating it into a series of defense movements. We started the class with a series of repeating leg raises, followed by front kicks, carried out while advancing forward. We then worked on leaning sideways with our knees raised, a positioning movement necessary for aiming and launching effective side kicks.
Having practiced the above, we spent a good deal of time training with a partner on aiming and proper execution of the front kick along with dodging and avoiding its impact. The feasibility of blocking a sidekick with the arms was contemplated but, upon demonstration, deemed futile. The key to this exercise was rapidly adjusting to where your opponent repositioned themselves and being prepared to launch another kick right after. This helps to acknowledge the realities of an actual confrontation and helps prepare for them.
It is only when the techniques we learn are applied in practice that we are able to explore their capacities and adjust them to our own.
