You nailed it once again!!!! The part about hip problems. In my younger days of training, I would constantly train to achieve the straddle spilts and kick high fancy kicks. I’m 49 now and am feeling some of the hip pain associated with what you had said earlier. I agree with you 100% with the front kick!
Thank you Victor! I appreciate the comment and contribution.
I agree one-thousand per cent..I used front snap to get me to the Pan American finals in 1978 . It was also the ONLY kick I used in15 years of working bars in Halifax , Nova Scotia...Front Snap or Front Thrust....Sensei Quimby is defiantly on to something ...in my humble opinion...🥋
Thank you sir! I truly appreciate your support.
Great job Sensei Chip! Totally agree. By not bobbing our heads when we launch the kick, it is very stealthy, and keeping it waist level or below, HARD to defend and effective. The opponent has to deal with it. Also great barrier to get someone off of you. Used to use when training with young kickboxers: when the older guy gets tired, beware a front kick to the gut. If they jam us up it can convert to a stomp to the knee or foot easily as well.
Thanks for the comment Razorback! Much appreciated sir.
The latest (2019) manual for the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) teaches only front kicks to the lower abdomen, groin, knee, and lower leg, and also round kicks to the knee and lower leg. This is what all Marines are taught to use in unarmed combat. This is consistent with your video, Chip. (The low round kick is a very natural movement, not much different from the movement of a front kick.) You have excellent videos.
Thank you for your comment Robert! I appreciate you sharing that information with everyone.
You know what 2 arts the marine took those from was thai boxing and hatsumi soke's taijutsu. Capt jack Hoban was a sme during transition to mcmap. He is a Shihan in buninkin taijutsu.
Excellent explanation. The front kick can be and is dangerous! Also love the bloopers! 🤣
The best kicks are usually low fast front kicks
True!
Yup. I kinda agree with what you're saying about front kick is effective for street fight because I think front kick doesn't need much upper body movement when performing the kick which means like you said low chance of telegraphic movement. Heck.. We can even do front kick while both hands in pocket.
Great points Bron! Thanks for your comment and support. Best of luck in your training.
Absolutely agree! Look at what happens in MMA when someone is accidentally kicked in the groin, and they’re wearing a cup
Thanks for your comment sir!
yep,i have a hip replacement at 45,not pleased at all
great
Thank you my friend!
Uechi Ryu, strongest Kara Te.
What about a rear heel kick?
Thanks for the comment! I love using the heel to kick...it one of my favorite variations, especially to the mid-leg area and knee. It's frightening strong!
sensei your belt is made by silk or cotton?
Thanks for your support Shen. My belt is cotton.

Hello Sensei Quimby. So, I train several modified front kicks. These all require that the hips do not rotate. The rotation of the hips slows the attack in a street defensive scenario. One is a modified front kick that uses the blade of the foot. The other is a modified round kick where the front kicks turns the ankle and ball of the foot to the inside. Both kicks are hip height or maybe slightly high at the most height. Great video and discussion. I notice that Kanishiwa is the only kata with a side kick. Also, only two kicks in the basics too. Thank you once again,
Jan Blacha The second front kick you mentioned where you turn the foot outward, is frequently used in Wing Chun.
Thank you for your comment, Jan! I love the front kick variations you shared. Using the blade-edge for front kicks is one of my personal favorite, especially the knee and hip joints.
@@stephennordlinger4112 Yes, I am a Wing Chun practitioner and that is where I got that kick from. Thank you for noticing this kick.
Hi. In Kanshiwa it is "a sort of side kick": it is not a side kick due to the fact that the opponent come from the side. The opponent is in the front. A/Feet in the same gard. With mawashi Uke, I force the opponent to rotate and throw him off balance. a) To avoid to be forced to rotate and to fall dwon, the opponent move forward his rear leg. I use a "side kick" to break the knee of this leg. b) The opponent move backward his weight to his rear leg and thrust a round kick. I step forward (following the kata), use "side kick" to absorb and deflect his round kick. B/Feet in opposite gard. With Mawashi Uke, I deflect opponent's strike but I can't throw him off balance neither force him to rotate. I use the "side kick" in two steps: a) a front knee in the belly, b) a "side kick" in his front knee. So, a "side kick" with rotation of the body doesn't exist in Uechi kata. It's pretty like some variation of front kick like ones you described. Thanks for your sharing. BR
Great breakdown
Thank you Simon - I really appreciate it.
10 minutes of why and no how lil disappointed chip. Only kicks I ever had work in real life was lure kick from mantis kung fu to groin Stomp kicks from taijutsu to hip knees top of foot. Most karate kick were stolen from savate by funokoshi for sport. Sport kicks are crap. old school war art were low bone/balance breaking kicks or they grapple the person in joint lock and kicked thier throat or head in. 🤔
Thanks for your comment, Timothy. It's always interesting to hear about the experiences of others.
