Knock An Elephant On His Butt With Good Kung Fu Kicks!
Yes, you can knock an elephant on his butt with good Kung Fu kicks. You can use these principles with Karate kicks, Hapkido kicks, or whatever, and some diehard practice, and elephants will walk softly around you! And, if you can knock over a pachyderm or two with a foot, that gangster isn't going to any kind of problem.
Now, first things first, it's okay to practice the high and fancy kicks, they will give you flexibility, and that will aid in your power. However, when it comes to the street, you want to stick with the basic kicks that are too low and fast to grab. You want to stick with the front snap kick, the side thrust, the wheel (a snap on the horizontal plane), and a spinning (hopping/popping) side to the rear.
Take a real look at your kick, make sure that your skeletal structure is aligned. Stand on the part of the foot that you are kicking with to make sure it can absorb the shock of the potential impact. You can stand on the ball of the foot, so that front snap kick can hold up under a kick, but you can't stand on a side of the foot comfortably, so you better kick with the heel.
When you execute a kick, make sure you raise the knee high and tilt the hips into the kick slightly. Raising the knee high helps you to drive the leg straight in on the target, if you don't have a high knee the foot may slide up against the side of the target. Tilting the hips, a specialty of shotokan karate kicks, puts more body weight into the kick.
Practice kicking over a chair, and make sure that you aren't twisting any body parts at the last second to fit the kick. Also, keep the tan tien over the standing foot, this will help you keep your balance immensely. Also, especially when doing Taekwondo kicks, don't straighten up the support leg, rather bend it, as this will connect you better to the ground.
You can wear karate shoes to do your kicks, but don't forget to practice bare foot kicking. If you're in the wilderness, and your feet need protection, or perhaps you want to be ready for a situation where you can't get your shoes off, then use shoes. But the feeling of barefoot kicking gives you mental feedback as to the exact perfect way to use your feet.
Now, the key to everything is to practice, practice until you are ready to drop. Most people think that they can go to nice, polite class, do ten or twenty kicks per foot, and they will be masters of the kcking arts. You need to do hundreds of kicks, thousands of kicks, for each foor, for each kick, and for hundreds of days, thousands of days, if you want to be good.
The leg is a superior weapon. It can keep people away from you, set up secondary tricks, and, if you have Bruce Lee kicks, end a fight before it even gets started. I promise, you pay attention to the points I have made, and your good martial arts kicks will be making elephant burgers out of those pesky pachyderms!
