Back side kick

Made fun of?

No, no my friend....a great stache is is nothing to mock.

Man, are we derailing this thread or what?

Sam Elliot has a great stache. Salvadore Dali had a great stashe. All I ever wanted was my beard. But no damn place I ever work let's me have a beard. Rat Bastards.

One does not sport a porn star, eighties cop show moustache and not expect to be made fun of.

Embrace the harangue. Feel the power. :)

One can only hope it still exists.

So jealous, dude, about the hair and beard thing. Not about being a narc. That's real police work. I have no desire for any real police work no more. Un uh. :)

Sam Elliot's 'stache has more hair in it than my entire beard, man. That's a manly 'stache, that is.
 
Our terminology isn't based on position of the foot, rather on the kick itself. American Karate is an eclectic system. In the pic below, on our wedding day, my wife wanted a kicking pic, so we took one. She's throwing more of a sidekick similar to a Korean stylist, I'm throwing an American sidekick. We teach sidekicks in a lot of different ways, you learn them all, and find out which ones do what. She can hit with hers quite well, as can I. In competition, sidekicks were both our money kicks, yet they were totally different.

She likes to point out that she's throwing the better kick. I like to point out she's looking at the Peanut Gallery instead of her target.

In all of our kicking, the primary focus is on end result. All of my students kick a little differently, especially Black Belts.

Take two people, one starts his Martial journey with no flexibility whatsoever, the other, really flexible. It would be nice to think the tighter person will catch up flexibility wise, and he'll certainly loosen up some over the years, but in reality, he's more than likely never going to be as loose. His kicks are always going to be different than the other guy's. But he's still going to learn to hit with them. Just have to train him differently.

If you can kick me in the chest and knock me down, or whatever your goal is with the kick - create distance, injure, part of a combo, whatever - I don't care what position your foot is in, as long as it's not detrimental to your body or to your game. I just want you to be able to apply it to someone who doesn't want you to.
You do it in a long dress and high heels. And then we'll talk.
 
I never did that kick with the toes pointing downwards in (what was ITF) TKD, but in my Longfist class we have, however I'm not sure if it's a Longfist syllabus thing, or just practicing kicks in general
 
I recall seeing this kick in print somewhere and can't recall which fighting style it belonged to. It was carried out similarly to a side kick, but the foot was aimed to the rear and not as high as some kickers do side kicks. It was actually classified as a separate kick, not just a sub-kick of side kick. I would appreciate if someone could suggest which style/s this kick belongs to.
Thank you.
Donkey Kick
 
Ninpo Taijutsu utilises this kick, I don't know where it may have originated from, though.
 
I guess I first learned it in tang soo do. I teach that in a "back kick", the foot chambers as if kicking you own bottom with the heel. The kick itself is no different than what a mule does. In the "side back kick". the knee comes up as in a, well, side kick. The hip turns and the kicking foot/leg is OUTSIDE the line of the hip and the rest of the kick is just a side kick as usual. But the back kick keeps the heel UNDER the hip while the BSK is done with the foot BESIDE the hip. I know others teach it differently but that's just the way I learned it.
