Stop kick explanation videos – Martial art techniques
This article is about Stop kick explanation.
Today we publish a technical article on Stop kick. In front and side version. In part kick in part temporary stop. Not to be confused with the Teep. Technique often associated with Wing Chun and Bruce Lee’s JKD.
The Stop kick is very easy to perform and useful in theory. In practice, however, it requires a lot of timing and precision. And a good familiarity with combat. Is a blow carried above all to the legs. But even the stop kick on the torso has its effectiveness. But it makes the leg more graspable and manipulable by the opponent.
If done to the leg, it is capable of unbalancing the opponent if he advances. Or to stop his kick in the bud.
During the execution, the back (or the side, in the lateral guard) arches a little. moving your face away and lifting your leg forward automatically. The leg should be raised straight, in order to use your whole body as a block. And leaning on the point to hit. Not thrown. It is not a real kick, it is more a temporary blocking of the opponent’s movement. That uses your weight, resting on your extended leg.
There are instructors who also teach how to use a small and quick front kick. Or side kick, without loading the hip. But the times increase, due to the contraction necessary to collect and then deliver the blow. And when it comes to tenths of a second, it doesn’t take much to be out of time. We consider it as a front / side kick to the legs. Or a teep. For use in situations other than stop kick.
Once the stop kick is performed, the leg must be quickly recovered in defense, or supported for a subsequent quick attack.
To see other Kicks similar to these, targeted only or even to the low line, we also recommend: Stop kick, Teep (front push kick), Calf kick and Low kick.
