ROUNDHOUSE KICK

This is the kick that is most used by kick boxers in tournaments so it
should not be used in the street unless you are really sure that you
aren’t going to receive a broken or badly bruised shin from a well
timed elbow. This is one good way to block this type of kick. Your
front leg is lifted as shown in Photo No. 159. You now twist your
155 156 157 158
rear heel inward and roll your hip over to flick the right foot out in a
snapping motion from the knee. Photo No. 160. You must also try a
double kick so that you will know how to block it. Use a roundhouse
kick to the leg using no heel twist but gain the power from the waist,
then bounce the same leg upward to attack to the upper body or face
using the heel twist.
