Takedown - Version Two

H.E.A.R.T. Martial Arts and Citizen Schools students learned another way how to take their opponent down. The students learned how to eliminate the power of a roundhouse kick by simply stepping in towards their opponent. In addition, they learned that they must hook the kick with one arm while pushing the other hand/arm towards the opponents upper body in conjunction with stepping forward and hooking the opponents lead leg with their own. Fun and excitement were had by all and even a few laughs could be heard as everyone took turns executing the technique with their teammates.

Mai Geri, Mawashi Geri, Ushiro Geri Kicking Combination

H.E.A.R.T. Martial Arts and Citizen Schools students have been practicing the second Kata (Form or Formal Movement Exercise) which will be part of our WOW! performance.

The second Kata in Japanses is called " Kihon Sono Ni" or Basic Kata Number Two. The students learned an important difference between Kata Number One and Kata Number Two which is the three kick combination in the middle of the form. The front snap kick (Mai Geri), roundhouse kick (Mawashi Geri) and back kick (Ushiro Geri) combination teaches the students how to connect or "flow" a straight, to a round, to a back technique.
