Fighting in martial arts involves a set of punch and kicks. Restrictions appear only in sports. Legs, like arms, need to be able to be used correctly. I’ll tell you how to kick kicks below. Often the kick is the most powerful of all. If you direct it correctly and choose the correct position of your feet, you can cause serious damage. Let’s look at 3 main attacks:
– straight
– lateral
– direct blow with the edge of the foot
The video below shows the technique of performing these strikes:
Pay attention to the rotation of the body in the pelvic area.Correct rotation in the hip joint is a 50% successful strike. In this case, the torso should deviate as much as possible in the direction opposite to the leg. Remember, in these three basic kicks, the knee is first brought forward so that the shin is perpendicular to the floor. Only after this do we turn at the hip and straighten the leg (for the side and the edge of the foot). Don’t make the mistake of falling forward when taking a single hit. At the end of the attack, try to return to the starting position. As with the arm, the leg must be fully extended when striking. At the moment of contact, the foot is as tense as possible.

Cases of injury most often occur with those people who group their feet incorrectly.For example: when hitting a direct blow, be sure to pull your toes toward you. In case of a side impact: if the impact part moves from the instep to the fingers, if it hits a hard surface, it will be noticeably painful. A relaxed foot is uncontrollable when touched, so it is easy to dislocate.
Main mistakes when kicking
Don’t forget about protection. Hands are always ready to repel an attack. The supporting leg stands on the entire foot. There is no need to stretch out on your toes, as you lose stability and a small push will easily knock you off your feet. The rest will work out over time. Additional materials:
