- Today's lesson, Jeet Kune Do's groin kick.
My favorite kick.
Most devastating.
This is the one that I've practiced the most.
(heavy breathing)
(upbeat music)
I don't do a lot of fancy high kicks and stuff,
maybe because I'm getting old.
I'm not as flexible,
unlike those TaeKwonDo masters.
So, with the groin kick, it's very, very simple.
I think most people, they make it a bit too complicated.
You're kicking the guy's groin.
So, and the way you do it,
at first maybe you want to practice
in your just ready stance.
You're on guard, that's okay.
But I think later on, you kind of practice
you want to be able to kick from any angle.
So, let me do it slow,
and I'll demonstrate with speed,
and I'll break it down for you.
So, on guard.
Look at your opponent.
Now, at first, maybe you don't want
to practice too much footwork.
Just keep it simple at first.
Just get the form right.
So, you're lifting your knees, okay.
Now, you can kick it with an instep
or you can kick it with your toe.
Kick it with toe.
Or if you're at an angle,
lean in just slightly, right there.
You can also kick it that way.
So different variations.
But, for now, let's say instep.
Ride your instep like that.
The instep.
And it's more like a flick.
So, it's not your,
my knees, it's not like this
'cause this has no power.
This has no power.
So it's not (exhales).
Looks good, but has no power.
It's much more like a whip.
Use your body mechanic like a whip, like that.
So, I'll show you the difference.
This is a flick.
You see?
That's a flick.
Whip, hear the sound.
Hear that?
I let all my energy just goes for (exhales).
And also, you can come back to your foot faster,
so you can be ready for different strikes.
So, watch.
Like that.
And just practice.
And make sure to use your hip.
So, not just the legs.
Not just this piece, but this muscle.
It's your hip.
Your hip.
So, you can practice like this.
Break down the movement.
But also, you can practice like this using your hip.
Now, see.
Hip.
Now, after you practice many times,
stationary,
then you can add the footwork.
Now the footwork, you want to move your back foot
closer in.
Like that.
Boom.
Okay?
Like that.
Boom.
See?
Boom.
Speed.
(exhales)
Okay.
(exhales)
Again.
(exhales)
From here, not from there.
And then also, as you get better,
you can also practice even further away
from the opponent.
Right?
So you might do your fake,
and then boom.
Like that.
Show you, all right.
From here, fake.
(exhales)
It's very, very hard to block.
Even though the guy might know it's coming,
very hard to block.
And you want to practice your non-telegraphic movement.
So, you don't to be doing to much of...
That's no good.
So, do this like boom.
You gonna kick the guy.
I don't want any trouble.
Hey, man, what's going on?
Boom.
And then just kick.
So, to a point where you can kick from here.
You can kick.
From here you can kick.
Close, you can kick.
From a distance, you can kick.
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
This angle, I can kick.
Just aiming the groin.
Right, I'm just aiming the groin.
That's it.
That's the JKD groin kick.
Very effective, very devastating.
Practice it.
Non-telegraphic motion.
Practice well, practice often.
