Actually, the ones that give me the most trouble, and I know I'm not alone here, are the kicks to the legs.

First off, do not attempt to go "kick for kick" with a better kicker. I find myself trying to do this, and it takes me outta my game. If you hands are better, land them first then end with a kick or immediately side-step. Never stand and admire your work. Just as myself and Havoc have discussed, start with punches, and guage how they are guarding them. I find that most heavy kickers do not have very good techniques for blocking punches, therefore when the head goes down, or they block their whole face with their gloves, that gives you an opportunity to try to break their leg with kick.

Throw at least 2-3 punch combo's, and I am sure they will go on the defensive. Do what you do best, and the rest will come a lot easier.

I'm lifting, doing weighted shadow boxing, cardio, and lots (300-600) squat kicks a day to bring my developementally challenged kicking up to speed. The kick for kick thing is suprisingly seductive, I hate conceding any part of the game to an opponent. But my partners are good and we are focusing on improving not just wailing on each other. They are getting better hands and I(SOOOO SLOOOOWWLLY)
am getting better kicks.



Osu!
