Kicking over the chair is more of a technique for my intermediate students. Yea, I've used low to mid level kicks in the street--they are a Respect getter.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I did alot of yoga-type leg and hip stretches before each class. The biggest help for kicks was practice, practice, practice - working on form and repetition. As I got better, I was able to speed up and snap them out. Holding onto the chair was good. As was leaning against the wall. I don't kick as much these days - if so, they are low-line or to the center of mass. |

I love to drive the ball of my foot into the side of the knee and then drag the instep down the shin and stake the foot. Works real well with boots on. One thing I never do is kick with the top of my foot though. Too many small bones, not enough protection from impact either.

I'm not saying don't kick to the head, to each his own. I just feel if it's that high up, my hands are better experts in that field. I try to avoid kicking higher than my own waist.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I did some sparring saturday. It seems that at the age of 52 all I can land is front kicks. I'll take that if it's going to help with street self defense. I believe I can still land the front leg side kick but it would be to the knees or the groin both illegal in sparring.
