Normally we cut down the videos to be shorter and contain only the essentials. But this staple technique of martial arts has far too many details and things to mention for that. Therefore it is deserving of being the longest video we have made so far!
Kyokushin Karate Mawashi Geri, also known as round kick or roundhouse kick - is a unique variation of roundhouse kick that is fundamentally different from the way it's executed in Muay Thai, Taekwondo or other Karate styles such as Shotokan or Goju Ryu.
It is a snapping technique but optimized for damage - and can be executed with the head as a target from a range shorter than any other variation.
It is also the safest variation to use. Reason being compared to other variations of roundhouse kick, it has minimal impact on your posture and balance. The snapping of the lower leg also makes it difficult to catch and hold on to.
This technique is usable in knockdown Karate, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA, self-defense and many other similar contexts.

I was waiting for this tutorial, you went ahead and made it in depth, thanks a lot for your efforts, I requested this lead leg kick tutorial and you said it's your favourite kick, glad we feel the same, these are remarkable
Yes indeed I’m happy you liked it! I thought instead of only making a lead leg video it might be better to make a video about the whole kick in depth 🙏🏻
Thank you for the suggestion and for watching!
@@SaikouKarate again thank you for this detailed video, btw can you also make a video on various punches involved in kyokushin? And how you people train them including head punches because it's not allowed to punch to the head but it's something anyone would skip in training
Thanks in advance
@@blackpurple9163 Sure can definitely write that down for a future video!💪🏻
@@SaikouKarate thank you
Thanks! I've always struggled with pulling this off. Going to refer to this for practice
Thank you for watching and hope you see some nice progress 🥋Osu!
Great kicks. As a Shotokan practitioner I have always admired those Kyokushin mawashigeri. Now to practise. Thank you for this.
Thanks for your kind words and for watching 🙏🏻
Excellent work!
I especially appreciate the smiles you share with your training partner. It’s important to value having fun in training. Also, those friendships you form in martial arts are very special and deserve cultivating. ✌️🥋
Thank you! We have been friends for nearly 20 years now, because of martial arts 🙏🏻

I was instructed to always utilize the keikotsu when performing mawashy gery, no matter the technique-jodan, chudan, or gedan.
The main reason for using keikotsu is that it's a very sturdy bone and it has a much lower chance of breaking when colliding with hard surfaces (such as your opponent's shin, elbow joint etc), but when kicking the head there is not really any such hard surface to worry about. Therefore it's better to kick with the top of the foot, which gives you a (literal) foot more of range, which also translates to more leverage -> force.
Questions: does kyokushin karate also have a version of the mawashi geri where you fully spin around? This 45 degree angle kick looks really good with the front foot. But to me feels awkward from the rear leg.
Spinning around is considered to be improper form for mawashi geri since you dangerously expose your back and it doesn’t really add anything significant to it due to the mechanics of power generation in the kick being mostly based on chambering correctly rather than a building momentum in a wide swinging trajectory like Muay Thai for example.
It’s definitely difficult but very rewarding to attain the level of balance and control required to throw it smoothly off the rear leg. I recommend the standing alternating kick drill from the video.
If the issue is you are losing balance in either direction, try to adjust your lean in the opposing direction - correct it incrementally and you will notice improvement fast.
Look up: Kyokushin speed round kick tutorial on CZcams. Incredible speed and power off the back leg. Kenji Midori is demonstrating.
@@kbeldenkb He was and is indeed incredibly talented and skilled with his kicks.
And for sure in tameshi wari it's not uncommon to commit more. But in modern dojos, spinning around after mawashi geri is not taught in any kihon, even within Shinkyokushinkai (midoris org).
However with Sankaku geri (brazilian / question mark kick) there is a common variation that does include turning your back.
This was an outstanding tutorial…your flexibility and strength is amazing. Any chance you can share your flexibility methods as well as how you build your leg strength for kicking please?
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻 for sure I can do that in a future video 👍

Question: If I hit my opponent with this to the head, does it count as a point or do I still have to knock him down with it?
Hey, it should cause visible damage :-) doesn't have to be a knockdown but can also be stumbling or holding the head in pain.
What makes your method of switch kick different from a pendulum kick
A pendulum kick as I know it doesn't utilize a switch step but rather a committed skip-in type step. More akin to 4:56 in this video :)
Lord it already took a ton of practice and stretching (lord I hate stretching!) just to do a Mawashi & Yoko Geri to the chest of my class mates that are 5'9. Ugggh well at least I'll practice these at Chudan level.
Keep at it friend 💪🏻 home practice is the key to technique! The dojo is just for feedback and sparring 👍
Okay let me see if I the combo correct:
Shita Tsuki, Gedan Mawashi Geri, Shita Tsuki, Jodan Mawashi Geri, Gyakuzuki, Shita Tsuki, Jodan Mawashi Geri, Shita Tsuki, Gyakuzuki (this was tough to see due to the camera angle and foot positioning was more parallel), Jodan Mawashi Geri, Gyakuzuki, Jodan Mawashi Geri, Jodan Mawashi Geri, Mae Geri, Gedan Mawashi Geri, Gedan Mawashi Geri, Shita Tsuki, Shita Tsuki, Gyakuzuki & Jodan Mawashi Geri.
Great job 💪🏻 🙏🏻

How do I load my hips for a kick?
Can you give a time stamp in the video for what you are referring to? :)
@@SaikouKarate4:43
@@SaikouKaratedo I have to load my kick for a regular rear kick roundhouse?
@@giovelazquez8872 For a rear roundhouse kick, if you have a correct fighting stance (kamae dachi), your hips should already be rotated as to be loaded :)
It's the lead leg that needs a subtle loading of the hips to be fully effective.
What about rear leg?
It was not focused on so much for this video since I figured there was more to talk about for the lead leg. Is there anything in specific you felt was left out?🙂
@@SaikouKarate just the lift off im trying to get it right
@@MrCharlietoma For the rear leg, without taking any type of step or initial movement, bring your knee up from the outside, at a 45 degree angle - then the knee should stop at the centre of your target.
i am not able to chamber my leg
What issues are you having? It might be flexibility related. We have a video on flexibility and strength training for high kicks, please take a look :)
sure will try it

I like the part when the blue belt was being beaten up :)) osu
