New Kicks

[stevenpiziks]

Last night in karate class we reinforced back hook kicks and spinning back kicks.  We also learned how to do a jump back kick.  You start in a horse-riding stance, then jump straight up, spin halfway around in mid-air, and kick with your heel.  The plus side is that this kick generates serious power, and I kept knocking the bag over.  The minus side is that it's hard to learn, and I fell twice while figuring it out.  Good thing we have floor mats.  But I got it down finally.
