[I:http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com/extras/pics/bowzerimage22.jpg]Nobody else knows about this, but it is the best kick I know. This is an amazing kick, but it’s true,and I never see anybody else use it. Not in tournaments, not in the MMA, not even in good, old commercial school freestyle.
This kick is as fast as thought, but if I don’t pull it and merely plant it gently upon my opponent’s body, I’m going to break a bunch of his poor ribs. This kick is probably the most powerful kick in you will ever see. Every time I use it, I tell you, I get the point.
The replacement spin side kick is what I call this kick–but I simply refer to it as the Pop Kick. When I use it I turn my back to my opponent, I can’t even see him. Yet, the kick shakes his ribcage every single time.
When you make this kick, you first have to be able to fight out of a horse stance. This is easily done, but there is a weakness to it. Obviously, you have turned your side, and your body is half closed.
So when I set fight out of a horse stance, I make it very temporary. I usually let myself be bullied into turning my body, and thus lulling the opponent. This undoubtedly helps the surprise of the kick when I deliver it.
Now, the trick is to be able to switch feet. So,to practice for this switch, I simply take a horse stance and let the energy pop from the tan tien. I make it like snapping the fingers–very important–make the switching of the legs like the snapping of the fingers.
Now, take a stance before a wall, breath easily, relax, and practice, when switching the feet, making the foot coming around the back to plant upon the wall. One foot lands on the floor, and the other foot lands on the wall, and they must do so at the same time. The key here is to visualize the kick, see it in your mind, relax, and just let it pop, a simple popping thought.
Do you see what kind of magic we are creating here? By practicing kicking at the speed of thought the kick becomes virtually instantaneous, like the movement of a magicians fingers when he dazzles the crowd. I am helpless in a weak stance, the other fellow is convinced that he’s shutting my body to the side, and whamo jamo,the side kick pops in from the wrong side. The unexpectedness of it all, the instant coordination, the pure strength of the side kick, the sudden drop of the weight, they all combine to make a mofo kick that is a real heart stopper.
