In this video we look into the classic mawashi geri from traditional/ sport karate, the Thai kick, and less common roundhouse kick utilized in full contact karate and self defense.
The experiment is designed to show that raw power and speed are just a few factors in how strong a kick will feel to the opponent. The volunteers wore a 4 inch belly pad designed for boxing and kickboxing. We made sure to start with lighter contact and ramp up until the volunteers chose to stop.
Keep in mind this type of experiment involves years of training to perform safely and should not be performed without the supervision of a qualified instructor
