In the modern world, many guys are into martial arts. The most effective method of attack is rightfully considered to be a kick. If you want to quickly hit the attacker, you need to strike with the edge of the foot. But to deliver such a blow, you need to train a lot. Theoretical knowledge about the technique of performing a blow will also not interfere.
Instructions
Step 1
The main targets of a side kick are the opponent's temple, floating ribs, cervical artery and armpits. However, you can also target the chin, under the nose, and solar plexus.
Step 2
The technique for performing such a blow is quite simple. There are a few tips to follow. The leg at the moment of impact should move in a straight line.
Step 3
At the very beginning of the impact, the foot should be at the level of the knee of the supporting leg (or rather, its inner side).
Step 4
The higher you hit, the more you should tilt the body in the direction opposite to the strike.
Step 5
It is necessary to hit directly, and not in the side. Then you can keep the force of the blow.
Step 6
You can use a punch at the same time.
Step 7
Rotate on the support foot when hitting. This allows you to perform the hip pivot required for a more effective attack.
Step 8
So, if you decide to learn to side kick, you need to use the chair as additional support. Place a chair near your supporting leg (the leg that will remain that way after you hit) and lift your active leg. In this case, the foot should be carried out above the seat.
Step 9
Thanks to such exercises, you can become more confident, learn how to maintain balance at the moment of the attack. Among other things, your body must remember how high the attacking leg needs to be raised so that you don't have to think about technique in battle.
Step 10
If you find it initially difficult to work with a chair, you can start with a small stool. However, in the future, you will still have to switch to furniture with backs.
Step 11
Please note that this is just the beginning. In the future, you should learn how to deliver side kicks not only from the classic fighting stance, but also from any position. Real masters are able to perform a similar technique at the moment when their feet are next to each other, parallel to each other. So all that remains is to train and train again.
