How to Hook Kick. Kakato Geri Tutorial. Karate for MMA. Episode 8.

[@NeroMMA]

Have you ever tried the hook kick before? What do you think?

[@anthonymesa8552]

My first fight I rocked the guy with a hook kick while he was trying to circle around me. Definitely one of my favorite kicks

[@NeroMMA]

Good job man! Nice that you pulled that off!

[@anthonymesa8552]

@@NeroMMA 🙏 thank you

[@pauloraduarte]

Hi brother...hook kick is ura mawashi geri (with kakato, in this case)...kakato geri is axe kick...my opinion, please...

[@shotokankaratedude89]

One of my favorite kicks! Especially with the front leg.

[@NeroMMA]

Its a tricky one for opponents to read!

[@shotokankaratedude89]

Yes BTW i call it ushiro mawashi geri.

[@zaferyener6162]

Very nice explanation thank you

[@NeroMMA]

Thank you for watching!

[@McD09Msa]

Great work again! You're right about the reps!

[@NeroMMA]

You have to put the work in! Thank you 🙏

[@finhyland4270]

Always found the spinning hook kick easy enough to perform but the hook kick from orthodox stance I always struggled with, this has helped..

[@NeroMMA]

I've felt that also! But once i started improving my hook kick My spinning kick became a lot sharper!

[@yongjiean9980]

Raising up the leg high requires alot of flexibility. Common in Full Contact/ American kickboxing. Superfoot Bill Wallace's favourite kick

[@InTheBleakMidwinter]

Well appreciated

[@NeroMMA]

Glad you liked it 🙏👊

Some terminology confusion here. I know this kick as Ura Mawashi Geri. The point fighting guys are very big on it. The vertical axe kick (the one Andy Hug used to do a lot) is what I learned as Kakato Geri.

[@NeroMMA]

Hmm, that is true. I must have mixed it up a long time Ago and just remembered the kick as kakato geri due to kakato being the point of contact.

[@honigdachs.]

@@NeroMMA The main thing is, you're able to pull it off. I think it's the most difficult kick to execute correctly and with damaging power.

The best

[@kingsler3585]

This is Not the kakato geri, actually is KAKE GERI

But it's not kakato geri we call it ura mawashi geri kakato geri means axe kick
