OK:
From the Siu Lim Tao form of Wing Chun Kung Fu, to my years dedicated to the Shotokan discipline, kicks have been an integral part of my arsenal. But since training in the arts related to ninpo, I sometimes notice difference in the kicking methods.
In karate we focused on,
Mae Geri (Front Kick)
Yoko Geri (Side Kick)
Ushiro Geri (Back Kick)
as the basic three. Later on "Kakushi geri (ura and omote)" would come into play, but those I've noticed in both To-Shin Do in some manner, like in the Water Curriculum demonstrated by Anshu.
Otherwise, the kicks above, seem to have different names, like:
Zenpo Geri (Forward Stomping Kick)
Sokuho Geri (Side Stomping Kick)
Koho Geri (Rear Stomping Kick)
as some basics. With that said, we do have 'kiri gaishi (shin strikes)' and 'juji geri (crossover kick)' applications, but those I don't have a problem with.
I suppose my question is, "Does To-Shin Do use any of the first list of kicks I've mentioned, and if it does, do they have the same names, and how are some ways they can be applied in your self defense arsenal?"
To-Shin!
