TRAINING METHODS

It’s all very well to practice these techniques in the classroom but
when it comes to using them you will have to know exactly what it
will feel like for real. The most important thing in kicking is to know
that a kick will work.
Firstly we work with a partner. We use slow, well-aimed kicks to the
knee area, not right on the top of the knee but to the side to break the
ligaments that hold the lower leg on. Have your partner come at you
as if to attack slowly, then step to wherever you feel is the right place
to gain the correct timing and kick to his knee. Make sure that your
heel is used each time and that you have hit the exact spot each time.
Photo No. 161. After some time when you are sure that every kick is
making its mark, start to get a little faster but be careful not to hurt
each other. The attacker will tell you if the kicks are striking at the
correct point. After some time you will be able to use a medium bag
to protect your leg as your partner kicks at full force onto the bag.
Remember! POINT YOUR KNEE INTO THE FORCE SO THAT
NO DAMAGE OCCURS.
