I have been experimenting with this for a while. So here is the question.
If you had fast feet and you wanted to throw a defensive kick. What would it be. For a long time I use to throw a defensive side kick. Lately I been trying a thrust front kick.
The advantage of the side kick is that it gets me farther away from the opponent. It is stronger, it hurts more, it can turn easy into the roundhouse, hook kick or ex kick with the same leg.
On the other hand for the front kick, I don't have to turn away and pivot hips. And I can have a swift punching follow up.
What do you guys think?
