Aim, focus, go

Sharpness and accuracy are always important when it comes to sparring and after a long time back not sparring it is time to test whether the technique and skill is there. The technique to be shared today is one that is often useful if one managed to catch the opponent fast enough or the opponent is relatively slower or the opponent's action may be too big.

This technique though is a turning kick but it requires great accuracy, focus and the dynamic confidence to perform fast. Aim at the flank of the opponent, focus on the movement and shoot out when the distance is right. Sometimes it could be that the opponent may be moving in or performing an attack, so once that move is seen, go for the target.


This could be something that can start slow first while training this techique. Practice with a partner with the partner stimulating the attacker and using the steps as mentioned perform the technique then proceed on to a faster level and eventually stimulate as if both players are sparring with one another.
