karate for beginners

hi, welcome back. now what we're going todo here we're going to go ahead and strike towards the legs. we're going to start goingfor the shin, pretty much. there we are, or the back of the knee. now the situation withthis is, in a realistic fight you're going to want to go ahead and have the person benddown the knee for a take down or just to weaken the legs so he won't be able to strike you.so, you go ahead and strike to the back of

the knee and then from there, go in to a clinch.now another thing to keep in mind here is to maybe have a partner to help you out. golight with your partner. of course you don't want to damage a partner of yours, otherwiseyou won't be able to practice this. you're going to go ahead and you're going to useyour hip. it's going to be a torque with the

hip. it's almost like you're using a whip.the whip of the leg right there and you're going to go back and forth, one on one, oneon one, one on one, and so on. ready,o.k. you're not really trying to knock down your partner. you're just trying to get theaiming done. and again, when the aiming is the most efficient is when it's right in theback of the knee, just like that. and that's how you kick someone, down there. and that'show you do a lower roundhouse kick.
