3 Basic karate kicks 👊🥋
*MAE GERI — The Spear That Never Misses.* This is the first kick every karateka learns and the last one they ever forget. Front kick is pure forward destruction. Knee chambers high, then the leg shoots like a spear straight into the solar plexus, stomach or chin. It's fast, it's direct, there's no warning. If your opponent steps in, Mae Geri stops him cold.
*YOKO GERI — The Side Blade That Breaks Walls.* This kick doesn't knock — it crushes. You chamber sideways, turn your support foot, and drive your entire body weight through the edge of your foot. When Yoko Geri lands on the ribs, knee, or head, it feels like being hit by a hammer. It's the strongest kick in karate, built for power over speed, and it teaches you true balance and hip rotation.
*USHIRO GERI — The Donkey Kick That Sees Behind You.* Never turn your back on an opponent — unless you plan to finish him. Ushiro Geri is the most dangerous and deceptive kick. You look over your shoulder, chamber tight, and thrust backward with everything you have. The attacker thinks you are running, but you are actually loading a cannon. When it connects to the chest or face, the fight is over before he understands what happened.
