Mae Geri, Yoko Geri Kekomi, Mawashi Geri 

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

This is our brown belt kicking combination 1, which involves executing three kicks moving forward. A really good kicking exercise for making distance and firing fast continuous kicks. 

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)

1. Try not to telegraph your technique at the start. Kick front kick (mae geri) with the right leg .
2. Step and kick Side thrust kick (yoko geri kekomi), with the left leg.
3. Step  and kick round house kick (mawashi geri) with the right leg and step forward.

Drive of the supporting leg when stepping forward, after each kick. Sometimes we also practice this combination with an ushiro geri as a 4th kick.

Shotokan Karate Online has a HUGE video library of kata, waza, etc. The videos are well organized and everything is described in meticulous detail. It's great for learning or for supplementing you training.

I have been training and teaching in shotokan karate over a period of 37 years. Since signing up for SKO and ENSO, I have found the the supplementary training and advice provided has greatly enhanced my karate knowledge and capability. In particular, the online live sessions, with extensive technical detail and knowledge of Okinawan kata has been invaluable. All serious karateka would benefit from exploring this incomparable source.

I have yet to be to the physical dojo yet, however, Sensei Huckle is amazing. Exceptionally knowledgeable, willing to answer questions and share knowledge. I highly recommend anybody looking to study Shotokan, or to supplement their existing Shotokan practice to check them out! Oss!

The videos are really great and very easy to follow along to. Sensai Huckle explains and demonstrates everything slowly to begin with then at normal speed with lots of good tips and pointers of common mistakes as well. The members section of the website has lots of videos as well as the Kyu courses. Would highly recommend

I’ve been doing karate for 1/3 of my life, training in a dojo for 3 - 4 years and outside of a dojo for 5+ years at home, I’ve tried joining other dojos and they couldn’t accommodate my work schedule, I ended up finding SKO and the resources have been great! Not only have I been able to further refine my techniques but I have been able to work my way through the grading system and have just achieved my brown belt, onwards and upwards!

About the author

I have been practicing and teaching karate for over 50 years and believe first and foremost, karateka should enjoy their karate. There is nothing better than seeing a person develop into a great martial artist through their karate practice, while at the same time really enjoying karate.
