Yes, both with the front leg, but not setting the foot down. Can also be thrown from the back leg, but that takes a lot more speed to get to work. >I'm not sure what you mean by a "reverse repeat side >kick"? Can you describe this a little further? OK, the terminology is more than likely what is causing the hang up. A reverse side kick is done using the back leg, and turning so you have your back to the opponent through the turn, instead of the normal back leg side kick. The repeat part is simply throwing another side kick with the same foot, but without setting the foot down. If you haven't ever done this type of kick before, try it, and you'll see why people won't expect a second kick to be coming from this motion! >Erik Kluzek >Longmont CO >!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >------------------------------ ------------------------------ From: "Neal Leddy" Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 15:46:18 +0100 Subject: the_dojang: Sparring Just to add my two cents, I find the single best technique to be a simple backfist to the temple, the simple reason is that there always seems to be an element of showmanship in TKD sparring, long range kicks, which are for obviousl reasons slower than hand techniques, also upper body 'telegraping' is much easier to disguise, another thing to consider is lateral movement, TKD sparring seems to emcourage people to move forward and back rather than laterally. A technique I like to use is to break to which ever side is off gaurd, at the same time kicking to the mid-section with a cross between a 45 degree and turning kick (dollyo chagi) and I usually follow this up with a backfist (dung joomuk) to the head. I also agree with the notion of same leg kicks and am a firm fan of the front-round, and double and triple turning kicks (always best of leading leg).

I should have been more clear, as I was thinking of older breakers. Along with that push a little bending of the board helps for the little ones, too. :) Of course, sometimes our 'help' goes awry... last test cycle another BB and I were selecting boards for breakers and found ourselves looking for one that was going to break if you breathed on it ( for a little guy ). We found one and I handed it to the holder, who 'tested' it with a rap of the knuckles. The board splintered, one of our masters called me down with a loud (and smiling) "MR. ATCHINSON!!", and everybody got a good laugh.

Frank Dux has been debunked by a bunch of people, but the best composite report I've read recently is by M. Busman. I think if you mail him, he'll send it to you. < mc_busman@my-Deja.com > ~~Chaney Hardman ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 15:58:23 PDT Subject: the_dojang: . ------------------------------ End of The_Dojang-Digest V7 #472 ******************************** It's a great day for Taekwondo!
