This week in every class we will be helping you to learn how to land on the ground properly if you fall, are thrown, or forced to the ground. Learning how to land correctly can save you from broken bones a concussion or worse.

1. SLAP: When practicing falls your arms can take most of the impact, by slapping the ground as you land. Be sure not to hit your elbows on the ground.

This week will be dedicated to review and practice as we get ready for Promotion.

This week we are working on Side Kicks. There are 4 basic side kicks you will be learning. A side kick is one of the most important basics in karate. A person with an excellent side kick can dominate the competition in both kata and sparring. As a matter of fact, one of GrandMaster Dennis Tosten’s instructors Joe Lewis ( Voted by ALL the Major Martial Arts magazines as the Greatest Karate fighter of all time) used just 2 techniques 90% of the time - The Back Knuckle and the Side Kick.

THIS WEEK AT AMERIKICK IS SLIPPING WEEK:

Slipping is moving out of the way of an attack and not being hit. It is also moving to the best angle so that you can easily counter attack.

1. HEAD SLIPS: There are six basic head slips

1. Drop Straight Down
2.To the Right Side
3.To the Left Side,
4.Forward to a Left angle
5. Forward to a Right angle
6.Straight Back
