RE: What's your favourite kick?


For me, I find that the lead leg Fouette Bas (usually to the inside of the opponent's knee) is the fastest kick of all. It's a case of 'closest tool, to closest target', although the lead Coup de Pied Bas does indeed run it a very close second.

I agree with Microwave,


The Coup De Pied Bas is a very sneaky kick,although it may not look as impressive as the high kicks,it can be hard to read and defend against at times.Its also a good set up kick for other combinations.


I think a good example of this kick is used by Bruce Lee fighting Chuck Norris in the Colliseum in Way Of The Dragon.

Works just as well if you start the sequence by kicking with the lead leg too.

you do a fouetté médian with your right leg, then you turn (as to give a chassé tournant) then instead of giving a chassé you jump and give a fouetté with the other leg (the right one). I don't know if that's clear.



that sounds clear enough. i'll be practising it soon.

hello, what we call the helicopter is :

Coup de pied bas, well it isn't the prettiest, but it is effective and hard to detect that it is coming at ya.

one of the most esthestic is,to my mind, the helicopter but it's not that efficient.

I thjnk the rever lateral is probably the most aesthetically pleasing. the favourite of many martial arts films.

i like the chasse lateral bas. Chasse d'arrêt we call it. It's quite easy to do and efficient.
