Shotokan Karate Techniques Brown Belt Kicking Combination 2

Four kicks on the spot. A really good exercise for balance and strengthening the supporting leg.

Within our Dojo, this shotokan kicking combination is first practiced at brown belt and is then used at every examination, up to black belt.

Starting from a left side fighting stance and kicking with the right leg.

1. Front kick (mae geri).
2. Side thrust kick (yoko geri kekomi).
3. Back kick (ushiro geri)
4. Round house kick (mawashi geri) with the right leg, then a short step forward with the right leg.

Throughout this kicking combination, try an keep kamae, try not to let your arms wave around as you kick. Keep the kicks flowing, rather than kicking in a robotic fashion. Push the hips into the kick, rather than just using the leg.

All these shotokan techniques should be practiced slowly first, then once you are confident in the technique, timing and rhythm of the combination, you can practice at full speed and power.
