The Shift Forward Kicks of Orange Belt

These four kicks are very similar to the kicks of the previous belt. Without going into too much detail, the yellow belt kicks help a student build an effective kicking structure that can be modified slightly to produce a different outcome.

For instance, the top of the foot front snap kick to the groin now becomes a front thrust kick with the ball of the foot driving into the bladder or solar plexus of an attacker. I find that this kick makes up in power what it loses in speed.

Without prejudice
