Comparative Study of Maegeri

Aloha Everyone! (^^) Thank goodness for You Tube. Thought it would be interesting to compare basic techniques of various martial arts. Start off with the simple (??) front kick or maegeri. Each art has its theory for its waza. Depending on what you practice it may make sense or not make sense. But the important thing is in trying to understand the theory. It may or may not be something you can use to improve your own front kick. Have fun!


Please note the slight variations in the chambering of the knee, use of the supporting leg and hip joints in the four styles.




I think this is a good way to develop your legs! Slow is also painful.....(**#)


Of course let's not leave out the Kyokushin or full contact method (^^)
