Kansetsu Geri
Chasse Lateral/Frontal Bas
Low side kick & low heel kick

A relaxed video pace. Top video integrated kick into a basic hand combo, bottom video integrated kick into an advanced combo. The kick descends down into the top of the knee at 45 degrees.

Savate techniques used in MMA, note again these are illegal in most karate types of styles competitions, they are very dangerous to the knee.

In practice we touch the top of the thigh above the knee.

The rear leg kick is for close range and the front leg kick for medium to retreating range.

At home students send back video of combinations according to your level.

Jissen Budo
Kansetsu Geri (Joint Kick)
Chasse Bas Lateral (Low Side Kick)

This kick is best known from the Savate martial art and has made it's way into MMA. Excellent for self defense also, it target mobility.

The force is directed downwards through the knee, see Whittaker v Romero 1 & 2 for how much this is a game changer.

Please note this kick is illegal in most full contact karate matches as it targets the front of the knee.
