Kicking Drill

Here's a simple kicking drill, that will improve your kicking and timing.

Using a heavy bag , you want to swing the bag so it is coming forward and backwards. Every time the bag comes toward you kick it, this simulates a person coming at you. Do this ten times for the side kick and front kick next step to the side and do roundhouse kicks. This doesn't sound like much but you will see how this improves the way you kick and your speed and timing delivering a kick will improve.
When someone is rushing in you can stop him cold with a good powerful kick to his body.
Or step to the side and kick his ribs, side of the knee, thigh etc.

Here's a technique to practice this.

Someone is rushing at you , when he gets inside your safe distance, close enough for you to kick right thru him, you do a right side kick to his abdomen ( between his belly button and groin) this will stop him for a few seconds , it may knock him down or just bend him over a little, if he bends over put your kicking foot down and kick him in the solar plexus with a straight front kick using the ball of your left foot, this will knock the air out of him, step down with your left foot ,turn to your left and grab the back of his head or hair and right down hammer to the back of his neck, turn back toward him and right knee up to his chest follow thru and knock him down.
I've used this one on the street and it really works well if the other person is a hot head and just rushs at you.
Have fun !!
