AOKK Advanced Kicking Technique: Back Leg Inside Crescent Kick

This kick is delivered from a forward stance. The kick is executed by bringing the back leg forward locking the knee and swinging it in an arch going from outside the karateka’s torso to the inside and down stepping back into the original forward stance.

This is a great stretching exercise.  It is also a decent kick. This kick can be found in several kata. The strike is made with the bottom of the foot. It should be practiced on the bag.
