MASTERCLASS
KARATE: KICKING TECHNIQUES
By Michael R. Berger
Keri-waza,
or kicking techniques, comprise about half of the arsenal in
karate. Perhaps of more importance, being that the legs are
far superior in both strength and reach to the arms, neglecting
the proper development of kicking can result only in a partial
development of the art, and thus in obvious ultimate defeat.
The proper use of kicking opens a full array of possibilities
in both offensive and defensive maneuvers. When the entire body
can be used with equal ease; when the techniques flow fluidly,
effortlessly, and spontaneously, without the limitation of conscious
thought…only then do we get a begin to understand the
true nature of the art of karate.
