I love the sidekick in freestyle and I guess also in self-defense.

I'm with Mr. Ryer on this one...sidekick has to be my fav. in sparring. 'specially that nice little corner with the floaters and the diaphragm...:D but I also enjoy a good placed round kick...people don't think a fat guy can move. ;) I just really like my distance between me and the person I'm squaring off with...:D

That's true, people don't think a fat guy can move. I believe he is talking about his experience with his instructor, Chronuss is not fat at all.

We generally use the hook kick as part of a kicking combination. Very seldom do we use it as a stand alone move, unless the opponent just leaves us no other option;)

The most effective and probably least used freestyle technique is one I patented. I point at their chest as if they dropped some food on it and when they look down I quickly brush my fingers up their face. That gets 'em everytime.

:rofl:

I doubt there's many women out there my age that could keep up with my 'pack' as I do :rofl:


To keep things on topic..
I like the round to spinning back.. and use it all the time.. then plant and come in with the force of hands.. Keeps those young ones on their toes..
