How can attack an opponent that rushes at you with a variety of different kicks and dosen%26#039;t really slow down? This is what i usually do against the more timid sparrers but when i get pit up against a high rank who knows and does a variety of fast hard kicks, what do i do? I also have a tournament comming up, and tips would also be great.|||Simple answer- angles and range. Just like chess pieces, fighting techniques have situations where they are more and less applicable. Certain moves are best performed at certain angles and certain angles are best reached using particular moves. Sidekicks for example are thrown perpendicular from the front of the body and jut out completely linear from the side side-- forming a L. If an opponent is on either side of that L in respect to where the attacker%26#039;s front is positioned, then the opponent is in an advantageous position in this situation, as the attacker cannot physically remain balanced on that sidekick.
Roundhouse kicks only have so much circular range. Being 20+ degrees outside of that range renders the kick not only useless, but now the attacker has put himself at a positional disadvantage. There are a few basic kicks used in Taekwondo. Familiarize yourself in the angles and ranges at which this kicks are optimized-- thereby strengthening your own offense as well as your defense against them.
If I told you anymore, I may as well just go fight the match for you myself.|||a trick i use to use is to time and punch the foot (on top), ankle or shin... odds are kicks below the waist are against the rules... but kicking legs are fair game... but if you make it hurt them when they kick.. the will %26quot;calm down%26quot;... if you can move in and drive your elbow into their foot or shin .. that works great too.... if you are really fast.. move in as they kick, and drive your eblow down into their quad, just above the knee... .. pressure point in Korean called Hare-Hae (spelling, but ask your instructor about it, if he knows)... it it a shame its hard to find a TKD school that teaches great kicks.... AND great kick defense.... it has become a show really... good luck|||all of the answers above work, although another idea would be to block until your opponent does a jumping kick of any kind and then as his foot comes of the ground you do a side kick to their head or stomach. another way to win would be to charge at him, yes it is stupid to rush in blindly, but I%26#039;ve found that when people do several different kicks in a row they usually expect you to back up, if you don%26#039;t they will lose their balance and fall or leave their selves open for attack. this can work amazingly or it can fail and just put you in more pain, if your opponent anticipates this course of action.|||If you try to defend by back pedaling eventually he will get you.
Move laterally constantly circling him or angle in off the 1st kick thereby not allowing him room for the 2nd in the series.
You may not get instruction in how to do this in a TKD dojo as it tends to destroy the myth of the superiority of the kick especially in one that only attends TKD tournaments where the only points you are likely to receive are for kicks.|||blocks
down blocks, outside blocks
be fast on your feet|||The best sparring defense for a kicker is to put them on their back! Practice your sweeps and take downs. A VERY low spinning back sweep on the opponents advance is VERY effective, trust me they will keep their feet down after you nail them a few times! Good luck!|||Simple answers:
A.) Lateral movement
B.) Clinch
Choice A is a much better strategy, but most people always just go straight back.
James|||The simplest, most effective, and most REALISTIC way to deal with this type of attack is to block while backpedaling and/or moving laterally. The chain of kicks will have to stop eventually, and that%26#039;s when you time in your own strike or combo.
Seriously, you%26#039;ll be expending way too much effort and energy trying to block each and every kick. Striking is about probabilities. You can%26#039;t possibly react to each kick with the RIGHT block at the RIGHT angle. So, to put the odds in your favor, just back way and cover up as much as you can. Once he pauses or stops, strike him back.
Keep it simple.|||What everyone said above works (except for the guy who suggested a gun). you could also try to intercept the kick. Chain kicks usually have patterns, like I sometimes see guys who just throw roundhouse after roundhouse after roundhouse.... If you know what is coming, you can intercept it with timing. Say you backpedal and block a few roundhouses. As the opponent settles his/her foot down for the next kick you immediately aim a roundhouse or front for the other side of his next roundhouse and block his roundhouse with your arm.|||a good defence will prefere you good attack and i think you have to block his kicks an attack on legs to lay down your oppossition.|||Balance is important. People who do lots of kicks are weakening their base usually, %26#039;cause they only have one foot on the ground most of the time. don%26#039;t let them put their foot back down! intercept the first kick and push them over.
(actually, I have no idea about the rules for Taekwondo, can you do that kind of stuff in tournaments?)
Speed is the most important factor though, if you%26#039;re going up against someone who is faster than you, you%26#039;re going to have trouble, period.|||a gun
