Roundhouse Kick



A Roundhouse Kick, also known as a mawashi geri, is a form of kick done in Karate which is usually used to hit the ribs or the kidneys, but it can be done to the head. Look up on WikiHow to see how to do it. When done properly, it has great elegance. A tip is to always keep your guard up, so if your kick misses, you won't be defenseless. Note that there are two ways to do a roundhouse, with the top of the foot and with the ball. Check with your club to see what form is wanted.

Good leg muscle flexibility is a requirement for properly performing a Roundhouse Kick. Leg muscle flexibility can be improved with physical therapy.
