My problem with these techniques - particularly the first and third - is that I don't trust techniques that rely on your opponent being a weak kicker or pulling their technique. Of course, they should pull their technique somewhat for safety in a grading or training, but if your defence relies on it then surely it is a flawed defence? Hammer-blocking a kick with your wrist will just break your wrist if the opponent is a powerful kicker and doesn't pull their kick as much as you expect.
Hi, I am training for 1 Kyu and am looking to your vids in great detail. very informative. thanks. Oss
No. 3 mawashi geri is one of my favorites.
Thank you!! I am soon going to 1. kyu and i had completely forgotten it. Good quality (: I will subscribe
how can you distinguish btw mae geri and mawashi geri in this plit second? or would you move in anyway?
Very smooth, yet excellent accuracy of Mawashi geri......Osu from a Kyokushin Karateka san kyu =)

thankyou for sharin this!
According to my Karate experience, you shouldn't lift the back heel. Especially in counterattacks 🤔
I would like to see a defense against a front leg mawashigeri, cause many times we can be attacked by a guy who just is a front leg user.
OSS!
who puts them in slow mo =P
and thx for the video, very descriptive
