Side Kick VS a Roundhouse Kick

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna!

With your guard up and your left foot turned out at 9:00, bring your

right knee in front of you as if you were doing a knee strike. Now,

aim your butt at 3:00 and push out - your leg for a moment will look

like an " L " til it's fully extended. Contact is made with the blade

of the foot. This is a SIDE KICK.

For a roundhouse, start the same way, only instead of putting your

knee in front, you take your leg back as if you were doing a hamstring

curl. If you were against a wall, no part of your body would be

touching it. Lift the leg up into a roundhouse prep knee like this,

still not touching the wall. Your foot goes from back to front, making

contact with the wall (opponent) with your shoelaces.

Hope this helps!

What is the blade of your foot?

So the differences between the 2 kicks are the leg position in the beginning

(knee up like a knee strike vs. knee down like a hamstring curl) and which part

of your foot is used to strike the opponent?

That is correct. With a side kick you are making contact with your

opponent from the side, and the bottom of your foot.

With a roundhouse, you are attacking him from behind, your foot comes

around to the front and you are making contact with the top of your

foot.

Hope this clarifies!

Come to Portland and take my class so I can show ya in person!

Yeah, that helped. I asked my husband too and he demonstrated both kicks to me.

(He took Tae Kwon Do as a kid. I'm surprised he still remembers!)
