How To Improve Your Side Kick (Yoko-Geri) VIDEO

By Jesse Enkamp

I confess:

I used to SUCK at performing the side kick (“yoko-geri” in Japanese).

Until I learned a few ESSENTIAL details for executing it with power & speed…

Today I want to share these details in a secret video!

The video was originally made for members of Karate Nerd Insider™.

    Excellent piece of information. So many westerners say "geri" and then wonder why when in Japan at training, the other Kohai look back at them , and or stare, and or giggle.

    Well done Jesse! For a nerd your Yoko-gery is very good! just a little note, tell your students not to practice jodan yoko-gery if they struggle with flexibility, specially man!

      I forgot to mention... your jodan yoko-geri is impresive, that's way the mention of flexibility for men!

    Could do the full lotus yoga exercise no problem. Always found because I could do that, I was fast at Jodan Keage . (we called high snap kick ).But was no help with my side kick .
