The 4 Kicks of Kung Fu

- The 4 Kicks of Kung Fu. I teach all my Kung Fu beginners front kick, roundhouse kick, side kick, and hook kick! These kicks are the fundamentals. I believe that if a student can perform well with each of these kicks then he/she will be a great kicker and possibly a kicking specialist!
Front Kick and Roundhouse Kick begin in an open stance. Hook Kick and Side Kick begin in a closed stance!

Love the stuff in the online Dojo. Doing all the stuff there implies a certain level of flexibility. You are there, but many of us are not. Could you include stretching stuff for martial arts in your dojo?
Taichi Master Hey Taichi Master! Yes, I make one this weekend!
Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace Just an idea. Take someone who isn't super stretchy like you and you be the coach/instructor on what they need to do to get stretchy like you. There really aren't that many people out here that are as stretchy as you are!

You are doing a great job Jake. You explain things clearly and simply. Perhaps more importantly, your joy and enthusiasm are contagious. I feel like jumping up and training right now. Ha.
Thanks s6y9I! :)
Crossing side kick is what you are demonstrating in this video. Side kick from a fighting stance would be to just lift your front leg and kick out, or just pivot with your lead foot and swing around to side kick with your back leg.
This bloke is a fraud I dnt know why people listen to his crap
Your side kick is a mutation between side kick and back kick. Your shoulders are not supposed to be square towards the ground in a side kick, that's just a mess.
The 'open' and 'closed' stance bit is another mutation. It's possible to initiate kicks from different footwork, but they can all be thrown from your 'open'. The step across, to make a 'closed stance' to throw your side kick from, are in no way part of the kick itself, that is just a variation on how to lead into it... you can throw the kick without that. (And you should probably learn how to, because your 'closed stance' stuff is probably what's mutating your kicks).
Many different kung fu schools can be recognized for a style behind their basic kicks: the front chamber - raising the knee up forward in front, as the first step in lifting our leg for a kick. We can throw any of our basic kicks from that chamber, which makes it that much harder for an opponent to predict the specific kick that knee is being raised to deliver. This is something that other martial artists, outside of kung fu, have given kung fu credit for.
Your kicks are not bad, but if you want to claim to know 'kicks of Kung Fu', then you need to learn them all over again. Your front kick is fine.
Jake, I believe crossing in the back for the side and hook kicks is improper. This is my personal thought so don't take it too seriously. I believe using a forward shuffle or a pendulum step is more efficient in terms of speed and power. I believe crossing your legs during the set up process only leads to an unstraightened line of power and less balance. For me, keeping it in a straight line instead of crossing helps maintain balance and power as well as a speedier delivery.
Just a few comments:
1) love these videos!!!
2) you reminded me very much of my head Sensei; he loves to make sport metaphors every chance he gets. It's silly sometimes.
3) you and I do the same thing with our front kicks! Much more natural to go slightly above the belt, even we usually use it as a belt level kick.
4) I love that you always seem so happy and joyful in every video. That smile makes me very happy!
Thank you for the feedback belovedray! I love it! :)
nice power. We used to teach the same 4, with different names.
However, for our club it was vital to maintain vertical body stance during all kicks, front and side, especially the front facing edge of foot and the 'outside crescent' (your 'hook'). We were recommended not to 'snap' the leg into straight as this will eventually give knee problems.
That is what i would call the four basic kicks also. There are many varients of those . Lead leg, jumping, spinning etc.
Yes! I agree!
Liked the backdrop. Was worried a little about the uneven level between the ground and the grate that covered the rocks. The hook kick was really snapping for you!
It was tight! Thanks! :)
These are NOT chinese style kicks, but that is not the least bit surprising.
great video .. thumbs up
Good, basic explanation of the fundamentals.
Thanks yeshuaservant7!
You`re amazing sir...
Impressive!
Thanks DPhunkT!
Hi Jake! You're a very good teacher! Could you make a video with the diferent sweeping kicks aplications?
smart teaching !A great master !
Excellent demonstration
Thanks Nigel!
sir I love your style and kumfu
Very nice backdrop to the video. I just have trouble with the hook kick...
ANOTHER VIDEO WELL DONE. Maybe you should do punches next? Or training "styles"?
Awesome kicks but you can still use your sidekicks and hook kick from an open open stance but I understand why you teach it that way
Hi jake , I wanna have a communication with you , because its really hard for 12 y.o. begginer to do anything that cant do any exercises ,,,,, can we ghave a communocation ? Please.....
Hey Neil! What's Up?
I need to know where to start and where to train at home....... and I wannanlearn shaolin , kungfu , teakwondo , jijutsu , and etc , also I do stretching , but can you make a vids of iron body that can break a wood or metal ? Can u make a video that teach basics ? Can you make for me ? Thanks :)
Thanks sir for video😀
i feel side kicks come fairly natrually to me, does it really have a path to being effective against someone who was comfortable with fighting? I get the flicky front kick always wonder about the side in use
Hi jake i love your videos man , how can we train our flexibility at home? can you do a video showing?
Philosophy is everything. a must see DVD: Circle Of Iron. it was based on Bruce Lee's philosophy on life. Bruce was to be in it but died before it was made. David Carradine is in it.David Carradine, Jeff Cooper, Christopher Lee. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS IN THE ALL KNOWLEDGE BOOK?????? that many died trying to find out?? hint all pages are the same! it's the most important thing you will ever need to know on every singe page!
Would like to see him demonstrate these moves on a colegue after demonstrating the moves
Can you show us a demonstration of your power? Maybe by hitting a heavy bag?
I have a few bag work videos already on our channel! I do a few more this month in order to show some kicking power! Good idea! Here's one:
th-cam.com/video/jMOY5Z3uoNk/w-d-xo.html
No knee break!? Haha awesome video though I hope my skills reach your level someday!
Thank you so much for your advices i have a question please if you can assist how the old ages can make their body more flexibility for high kicks?
Great video! Loved the background
you telegraph a lot with those pivots, your opponent can see it coming from a mile away
You have to remember that these are demonstrations designed to expose every aspect of each move you are trying to master. If he were not, "telegraphing" then the whole point of the lesson would be lost to the student. In an actual combat situation, this man would not only move in a non-telegraphical manner but also at lightning speed and efficiency.
I hit like, but does anyone know if there any channels with this kinda of content, but much better?
mrlondongo check out ginger ninja trickster for kicks
I like your kick
which stretches are better for the hook kick?
Hey Jake what do you think about crescent kicks?
I love them as conditioning and during sparring!
Hey jake can you show the front kick a lil slowly
Jake what should I do for to make my side kik strong.
Great vedio sir
Great video! I've been training these kicks for about three years, but that little explanation about showing your back pocket for side and hook kicks was new and helpful.
Just wondering, do you have any videos and/or opinions on some of the northern kung fu styles (idealy: Baji-quan, Pigua-zhang, Jingangbashi, and xinyi-quan)?
My kung fu style is a praying mantis stance. you do not want to use high to the head kicks cuz it's way to easy to hook your leg with a hand wrist hook and there easy to see coming. all kicks: the front; side; round house; knife edge; wheel all come from the praying mantis stance. it's too easy for your leg to get swept in the horse stance like that.
hey jake what about moving sidekicks
Jake , is it possible to learn a martial art by your own ? Because there are no nearby martial art studio here ....... I need to learn shaolin , kungfu , taekwondo , judo , ninjutsu , and more but theres no nearby ma studio here , still im 12 y.o. im half flexible ......... just wanna learn martial arts but dont know where to start and how?
Hey Neil! Yes, learning at home by yourself is great! Don't try to do every style at once! Pick one style and stick with it for a while, then switch when you feel ready! I would do a few months or years of shaolin, then a few months or years of taekwondo, then a few months or years or judo, etc!
Ohhhh ........ k thanks .... but I wanna learn 72 arts of shaolin , and youre not having 72 arts yet
Some person tell about learning is , we need a teacher to guide us and correct our positions ...... so I dont know if ill start or not ...
But ive been imagining mg owj techniques and my own ma called Skeletosis , at my backyard im very shy at my neighbor hood to practice on my backyard .....
So I dont train , soon as possible ill be on gym making a muscles , because im very thick , what do I need to learn before I go start making my own ma or etc ? ( if im correct , do I need to learn about bones muscles and any nerv system and etc ? ) .
san5324 yes I know that , many person told me that..... theresvno nearby teacher here
Wow ! Nice kicks Master Mace ! And with basic clean technique ! The way practicing martial art kicks should be ! I especially like how you expose the difference on proper application of a side foot kick, don't ever step in front crossing your feet, let your feet step over and cross one another from the back side.
Good Jobe Bro
You are my teacher
Muito bem senhor!
Great demonstration Jake I love the backdrop however I do have a question, how do you avoid telegraphing the kicks if the hip is toward the opponent which says possible sidekick what can you do to disguise it?
This is not how you do these kicks properly. They may look good, but they are fundamentally flawed. You want to bring your leg up and forward and thrust it out as you are advancing forward. You would never expose your backside for the side kick. Looks more like a mule kick.
Thank you Mark I appreciate your input.
Kenneth Carter You are welcome. Anytime. I hope it helped.
Good
The side kick is very clean, and I like your hook kick. But once I had shifted my play from Tae Kwon Do to more of a grappling oriented style, I found both side kicks and hook kicks dangerous against someone with good footwork and an aggressive style. Given your more square fighting stance when talking about Tai Chi versus other styles, I would think your own style would be incompatible with these two. I get more use out of a Muay Thai push kick as a substitute for both the traditional front and side kicks. I suppose my question is how do you integrate kicks that put your hips so far out of alignment with a Tai Chi style of fighting?
Also, there's a lot of similarity between the way a grappler will square and bisect his opponents body and the way a Wing Chun practitioner will talk about centerline theory. By both estimations, once your feet or shoulders are past a straight line to your opponent, they would consider you to be losing the fight at that point. Again, this assessment seems equally applicable to Tai Chi, though I'm not experienced enough with it to say with any authority. What are your thoughts?
Your knowledge of martial arts is wildly beyond Jake's.
Well i wont be negative so dont think im a hating, just stating, all those kicks goes with a block which wasn't shown, the way it was shown in this video is the way they teach now and days, the original (fundamental) kicks all goes with a block, one for the face and one for the groin, so yeah... for instance lets take my favorite kick, the side kick, when side kicking with the right leg the right hand defend the groin and the left hand defend the right side face, so even if the opponent side steps to his left and kick or hit, its blocked, so yeah watch that, cause i dont care how smooth you do your kick, if it was a fight vs me, i would have seen that open spot instantly and countered either at the back of the knie, groin, kidney, face, throat or with my own kicks, the worse i could do is step towards your kick making you lose balance cause your leaning backwards with the hook and side kick, or i just side step in your front and round house kicks, cause your also leaning, it needs to be a hit and run, but i come forward with a block which pushes you back when you try to finish the snap after that i pretty much got control of your legs, i can either sweep or just grap the leg thats up... either way, even with a block, during the kicks, the front and round house are hit and run kicks, so leaning that much will make it a impact kick, you do hit harder but pretty much open when caught, giving me options....so yeah... thats pretty much it, so watch your balls man, dont forget to defend it, cause in a real fight, its gonna get squished.... have a nice day and stay safe...
you not like those mean martial art teacher are you please answer
What a joke. No pivot goodluck dislocating your bones haha.(p.s please do some proper research before making so many videos)
DpsRager There's always critics aren't there.
Troll vs Critic... I think you're trolling.
I bet you this guy will kick both ya'll buts.

3:48
The ura-mawashi wasn't that well.. :/
Or hook kick as you call it..
STOP THROWING UP THOSE THREE 6'S UP BUT GOOD VIDEO
I'm not flexible to kick... Hahaha
Haha! Keep practicing!
Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace How do I practice at being flexible enough to kick??? Isn't that more of a default skill? haha.
you can see my both legs
Looks alot like Tae Kwon Do
you can see my groin
Why would a serious martial artist abandon a stable platform in order to make a kick this large, your body is excessively out of position when you execute and recovery is cumbersome? Why would you ever turn your back on a determined opponent? Why would you ever put your legs directly into the ability of the arms to deflect or grab. I can see why the Okinawans asked the Chinese for advice and then turned what they saw into the ability to fight well, there are no techniques like this on Okinawa yet they readily admit Chinese influence. Serious self defense can not possibly allow techniques with this amplitude, they are simply too large, too hard to execute and that much kinetic energy is overkill applied to a human body when vital point striking is used as it should be. Athleticism does not equate to fighting ability. The study of martial arts demands the truth as doing otherwise leaves the artist at severe risk. Sports are a different matter.
Don't worry, these are not really Kung Fu kicks either. Jake doesn't know Kung Fu. Your points are entirely legitimate, but they apply much more to what Jake is showing here than to actual Kung Fu.
This video has almost nothing to do with the basic kicks that exist in real Kung Fu. Please don't view Jake's stuff as a legitimate display of Kung Fu.

You know your side kick suck.... Yeah?
Once again these are Tae Kwon Do or Kickboxing kicks...nothing near your claim of "Kung Fu" kicks. Thanks for trying though.
+Xi Haobo There are 100's if not 1000's of Kung Fu styles so how can you tell.
Kung Fu came first sir
KronisTheGreat Thanks for the information. Good to know!
+Xi Haobo looks like Kung Fu to me
These are exacttly what my sifu teaches at our school. we also have the back kick, and our side kick is a little less backward than Jake's.
If Bruce Lee was alive Jake Mace would kick his ass so bad. Here is how he would do it. Mace would lure him into his secret life longevity garden to make believe he was teaching him about vegan gardening..then when Bruce wasn't looking he would summon his killer tortoise to bite Bruce in his balls and infect him with the dirty mouth bacteria and Bruce would die two days later. Mace would bring him back to life with one of his vegan juices thus gaining huge respect in the Asian martial arts community right back to the Shaolin Temple. He would be a hero in china were they would ask him to stay for the remainder of his life and teach vegan gardening. He would have to leave his mistress salsa partner but it would be all worth it as his name would be gold through out China.
Nice kicks, one of the best on utube
Xie Xie icybeer!!!
