Side kick
"Side kick" redirects here. For other uses, see Sidekick (disambiguation).
In Japanese, yoko geri; in Korean, yeop chagi (옆 차기).
The Side Kick refers to a kick that is delivered sideways in relation to the body of the person kicking. There are two general ways in which a side kick can be delivered. The first involves chambering the kick by bending it and cocking it back (recoiling it, in other words) before you kick.[1] The second involves shooting the leg forward as you would in a front kick and then pivoting and turning so that you actually deliver a side kick.
In addition, there are two areas that are commonly used as impact points in sidekicks. The first is the heel of the foot and the other is the outer edge of the foot(this is sometimes called the side blade kick, "ashi-gatana" or "sokuto" in Japanese). The heel is more suited to hard targets such as the ribs, stomach, jaw, temple and chest. The side blade is more suited to the softer targets such as the knee and neck.
