Karate: Free Combinations Part 2

The sune uke is performed with enough power to move your opponent's leg to the side. Then your opponent is 'open' and your knee is already in a position for the mae geri.

The hips must be used to give more power to the kick. It may seem that I am repeating this directive too often; however, when tired, people tend to avoid doing extra movements, which make their techniques much less efficient. In other words, you will do this mistake, especially at the beginning, regardless of my warnings.

Ushiro Mavashi Geri - Mae Geri

Her is another interesting foot work. When you move your head backwards to avoid an attack, slide your front foot forward. This way, you will end up closer to your opponent, and hopefully, it will be to his surprise.

Oi Tsuki -Giaku Tsuki - Mavashi Geri Jodan  - Kagi Tsuki -Ushiro Mavashi Geri







The first three moves are classical. They work very well and regardless of the fact that everybody knows all about it almost always get uncaught.

For example, we used a very powerful kagi tsuki; because if we stop after the first three moves, the opponent will surely immediately counter attack (providing he survived our attack). Then, as we are at a close range, and we have some spinning momentum, we used ushiro mavashi geri.

It has to be mentioned, though, that using high kicks is much more dangerous (for you) than using kicks at the low and middle levels only.

Oi Tsuki -Giaku Tsuki -Mavashi Geri



This combination works very well, because the opponent's hands are going down to block the first and the second attack.

Mae Geri -Tsuki





A mae geri is slower than a tsuki. Therefore, if you catch the very beginning of the attack, you can move forward with the preemptive counter-attack.
