I disagree. Angle your low roundhouse downwards. Gravity adds more than anything supposedly taken away from your hips.

Same as re side kick. It turns into a nasy stomp that has almost your full body weight behind it.

then, an enormous amount of kicking power - results

ooh two very nasty kicks

Besides a kick at hiplevel is already raised beyond horizontal since the joint is at the lower part of the hips and therefore will never be more steadier

An angle between the legs of 30 to 80 degrees will produce the best balance and power (IMHO)

CORRECT!!!!!!!!

i almost notice that Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Boxing, KickBoxing sparring opponents - they almost could not block when attacking them rapid lowkicks with that kind of leg angles..... especially the 45 degree angle of low kick target to their Knee Cap......

i usually follow-up with a 360 degrees sweep kick to their supporting kick, most of them falls to the ground, as i follow-up Inside Rotary Jumping Kick to hit thier stomach while they are still lying on the ground......

European and Japanese kickboxing is much like MT, they will know how to block these kicks just fine, Karate, espesially Kyokushin will know too


had people try a 360 sweep, well they managed to sweep my foot 2 or 3 inches from it side but then were on their back, and I was doing the heelkick to the midsectiion, the second time they would try, my foot wouldn't even move ( these were black belt level Pentjak Silat fighters of the manjang style)
