I was waiting for this tutorial, you went ahead and made it in depth, thanks a lot for your efforts, I requested this lead leg kick tutorial and you said it's your favourite kick, glad we feel the same, these are remarkable
Yes indeed I’m happy you liked it! I thought instead of only making a lead leg video it might be better to make a video about the whole kick in depth 🙏🏻 Thank you for the suggestion and for watching!
@@SaikouKarate again thank you for this detailed video, btw can you also make a video on various punches involved in kyokushin? And how you people train them including head punches because it's not allowed to punch to the head but it's something anyone would skip in training Thanks in advance
Excellent work! I especially appreciate the smiles you share with your training partner. It’s important to value having fun in training. Also, those friendships you form in martial arts are very special and deserve cultivating. ✌️🥋
@@SaikouKarate A little list of ideas Oi tsuki Gyaku tsuki Ushiro mawashi geri Oi tsuki Tate tsuki Mae geri Ushiro mawashi geri Oi tsuki Lead leg mawashi geri Ushiro mawashi geri with other keg
The main reason for using keikotsu is that it's a very sturdy bone and it has a much lower chance of breaking when colliding with hard surfaces (such as your opponent's shin, elbow joint etc), but when kicking the head there is not really any such hard surface to worry about. Therefore it's better to kick with the top of the foot, which gives you a (literal) foot more of range, which also translates to more leverage -> force.
Questions: does kyokushin karate also have a version of the mawashi geri where you fully spin around? This 45 degree angle kick looks really good with the front foot. But to me feels awkward from the rear leg.
Spinning around is considered to be improper form for mawashi geri since you dangerously expose your back and it doesn’t really add anything significant to it due to the mechanics of power generation in the kick being mostly based on chambering correctly rather than a building momentum in a wide swinging trajectory like Muay Thai for example. It’s definitely difficult but very rewarding to attain the level of balance and control required to throw it smoothly off the rear leg. I recommend the standing alternating kick drill from the video. If the issue is you are losing balance in either direction, try to adjust your lean in the opposing direction - correct it incrementally and you will notice improvement fast.
@@kbeldenkb He was and is indeed incredibly talented and skilled with his kicks. And for sure in tameshi wari it's not uncommon to commit more. But in modern dojos, spinning around after mawashi geri is not taught in any kihon, even within Shinkyokushinkai (midoris org). However with Sankaku geri (brazilian / question mark kick) there is a common variation that does include turning your back.
Lord it already took a ton of practice and stretching (lord I hate stretching!) just to do a Mawashi & Yoko Geri to the chest of my class mates that are 5'9. Ugggh well at least I'll practice these at Chudan level.
This was an outstanding tutorial…your flexibility and strength is amazing. Any chance you can share your flexibility methods as well as how you build your leg strength for kicking please?
@@giovelazquez8872 For a rear roundhouse kick, if you have a correct fighting stance (kamae dachi), your hips should already be rotated as to be loaded :) It's the lead leg that needs a subtle loading of the hips to be fully effective.
It was not focused on so much for this video since I figured there was more to talk about for the lead leg. Is there anything in specific you felt was left out?🙂
@@MrCharlietoma For the rear leg, without taking any type of step or initial movement, bring your knee up from the outside, at a 45 degree angle - then the knee should stop at the centre of your target.
What issues are you having? It might be flexibility related. We have a video on flexibility and strength training for high kicks, please take a look :)

Thank you! We have been friends for nearly 20 years now, because of martial arts 🙏🏻
Great kicks. As a Shotokan practitioner I have always admired those Kyokushin mawashigeri. Now to practise. Thank you for this.
Thanks for your kind words and for watching 🙏🏻
I addapted this technique to my style despite not doing kyokushin yet because it might be genuinely my favorite technique in martial arts ever
Nice to hear it’s working out for you in your style as well 👊

I was instructed to always utilize the keikotsu when performing mawashy gery, no matter the technique-jodan, chudan, or gedan.
The main reason for using keikotsu is that it's a very sturdy bone and it has a much lower chance of breaking when colliding with hard surfaces (such as your opponent's shin, elbow joint etc), but when kicking the head there is not really any such hard surface to worry about. Therefore it's better to kick with the top of the foot, which gives you a (literal) foot more of range, which also translates to more leverage -> force.

Look up: Kyokushin speed round kick tutorial on RUclips. Incredible speed and power off the back leg. Kenji Midori is demonstrating.

Keep at it friend 💪🏻 home practice is the key to technique! The dojo is just for feedback and sparring 👍
What makes your method of switch kick different from a pendulum kick
A pendulum kick as I know it doesn't utilize a switch step but rather a committed skip-in type step. More akin to 4:56 in this video :)

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻 for sure I can do that in a future video 👍

Question: If I hit my opponent with this to the head, does it count as a point or do I still have to knock him down with it?
Hey, it should cause visible damage :-) doesn't have to be a knockdown but can also be stumbling or holding the head in pain.
How do I load my hips for a kick?
Can you give a time stamp in the video for what you are referring to? :)
