The best kick I know, nobody else knows it. This is a funny thing, but it's true, at least, I never see anybody else use it. Not in the MMA, not in tournaments, not even in good, old regular dojo freestyle.

This kick is as fast as thought, but if I don't pull it and merely plant it gently upon my opponent's body, I'm going to break a bunch of his poor ribs. This kick is probably the most powerful kick in you will ever see. Every time I use it, I tell you, I get the point.

I have labeled this kick the replacement spin side kick--I commonly call it the Pop Kick. I turn my back to my opponent when I use it, can't even see him. Yet, the kick hits his ribs every single time.

To master this kick, you have to be able to fight out of a horse stance. There is a weakness in fighting out of a horse stance. Obviously, your opponent has your side closed, and your position is not very good.

So I make my position very temporary when I fight out of a horse stance. I usually let myself be manhandled into the seemingly bad position, and thus is the opponent lulled. When I deliver this kick, then, the surprise of my opponent is even greater.

Now, you've got to learn how to switch feet effectively. To practice for this switch I assume a horse stance and learn how to let the energy pop from my tan tien, I envision snapping the fingers--very important--the switching of the legs is just like the snapping of fingers.

Take a stance next a wall, and, when switching the feet, relax, breath easily, and pop the foot so you spin to the rear and land it gently upon the wall. Be totally synchronous, and let one foot land on the wall, and the other foot land on the floor. The trick is to relax and see the kick in your mind--just let the thought of the kick pop.

Do you see the magic here? It works because I am practicing kicking at the speed of thought, and the kick becomes virtually instantaneous, like the movement of a magicians fingers when he pulls that ace out of the deck. I start from one stance, the other fellow thinking that he's got me because he's shutting my body to the side, and wacko cracko, I pop a side kick from the wrong side. The instant coordination, the sudden drop of the weight, the pure strength of the side kick, the unexpectedness of it all, they all combine to make a mofo kick that can't be stopped.
