Brown Belt Basics Kicking Combination 2

This is for 3rd kyu brown belt Karateka working towards 2nd Kyu Brown and White belt

This is our brown belt kicking combination 2, which involves executing four kicks on the spot. A really good kicking exercise for developing a strong supporting leg. 

Try and flow through the kicking combination, height is not important, we would much rather see strong low kicks groin height and below, than high weak kicks.

Mae geri (front kick), Yoko Geri Kekomi (side thrust kick), Mawashi Geri (round kick)
Starting from a left side fighting stance Kamae 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 step back with the right leg into a left fighting stance Kamae..

Drive off the supporting leg on each kick.

Here are the brown belt kicking combinations.
