i like to strike with the soko, or top of the foot. i mainly use it in sparring with three levels, jodan, chudan, and gedan which is like giving a person a dead leg i guess. but yeah this has to be my favorite kick.

| The knee delivered this way is a great weapon. It's really ideal for a situation where you're already tied up and in the in-fight. I have much more luck at that range. |

Shin to floating rib, from the trailing leg of a lateral step - IF i'm upright, and that's a big if. More often, it's shin or instep to the head (depending how tall they are), full rotating, with both of my hands on the floor.

Too many different ways to use this kick. All of them have their uses.
For me, it depends on what kind of sparring I'm doing. If it's Olympic TKD, then I use the top of the foot. The delivery is such that the knee stays close to the body like a front kick, and the turnover happens as the kick is released. It's basically a front kick that near the end snaps over. Less powerful, but faster.
If I am at my Karate school, they do full contact. I still bring my leg up like a front kick, but the turnover happens much sooner. I also like to kick with the ball of the foot in these situations.
For kicks to the high target, it depends on the situation. Sometimes you can get away with the quick turnover kick, other times, it is beneficial to take a slower approach all the way around the outside. In either case, for safety sake, if it's not self defense I use the instep.

Roundhouse Kick Preferences:
>>Lead leg with top of foot/shin
Why? Shindokan is 85% hands and 15% feet, all of our kicks are from the stomach down. Therefore, I've found that my lead leg roundhouse for me is a great set-up as well as an interceptor to Tuite.
Other roundhouse kicks are still used alot, but, lead leg is my preference.

Here's a roundhouse movement that I haven't seen before:
http://www.ehow.com/video_2360483_roundhouse-kick-koden-kan-martial.html
It starts off like a front kick, then flips over to the roundhouse execution. It's deceptive, but it's not a tournament sparring trick; it's the way the kick is done in Koden Kan.
Reminds me of the "Screwdriver" piercing side kick we'd discussed in another thread.

Interesting! Although, to me, it appears that the hips finish ahead of the leg, therefore, how does the kick generate power? Interesting still!

I have seen that version of the round kick before, in some of my older TKD books. If you do a lot of front kicking, it is a good way to throw in a different kick.
Although it isn't the same as the big chamber "traditional" round kick, you can still get some good hip snap into that kick. Throw into a bag a few times, and you can feel it.

I can see how this type of roundhouse could be disguised by the front kick chamber. Interesting and something to be aware of, that is for sure!
