Combination attack 4

In this post, I will be mentioning about the next kind of drill for combination attack that one can do during their training. It will start off the basic as usual. Two turning kicks followed either by a back thrust. The back thrust is a kick that many seems to neglect it. It is one kick that requires effort and time to practice it and it involves another action that is turning your body then kick out. Although there are two actions, it has to done just as fast as the turning kick and the motion has to be just one motion. That is the speed the back thrust has to be if not, it might miss the opponent and in fact allow an opening for scoring.


Therefore doing combination attack 4, the back thrust has to be trained to a certain standard. While doing this combination attack drill, it is also important not to focus too much on the speed that the back thrust becomes just a push in the end with minimal power. Each kick has to fast and relax, then the power will come along with it as well. Each kick has to be light while kicking and heavy when contact with the target.


After doing the drill, another important point is to recover fast after performing the back thrust. Get ready to counter, attack or move back. If the recovery is slow usually it is prone to a counter by the opponent. If one is able to catch the timing well, this technique is especially effective to score a good point and have an impact on the opponent.
