Yes I am asking both of you to tell me how to perform a proper straight punch and a straight kick
Alright.
I'll talk about the lunge punch and reverse punch since those are the basics.
Lunge punch: in whatever stance you begin in, the hand that you use to punch will be corresponding to the leg that is in the front. You'll then chamber your fist knuckles facing down (chamber=your arm is tucked so your fist is lined up next to your pectoral) with your hip on the side opposite your hand tucked back slightly. You will then begin. Upon shooting your fist, you will begin to pivot your hips as you're hand comes out and you will turn your fist kuckles side up once your elbow passes you ribs. By the time your had begins to turn, your hips should've have pivoted from the side it started on tucked in, to the side. When your hand makes contact to the surface your hitting, you'll make contact with the two kunckles of your index and middle fingers, and quickly shoot your hips back centerline.
Example: my right foot is the front foot. In a lunge punch, I'm using my right hand. I bring my arm back so my fist lines up with my pectoral and my hip on the left side is tucked back slightly. I'll throw my punch pivoting my hips, keeping my kunuckles face down until my elbow passes my ribs and then I'll begin to turn it and my fist will be completely rotated upon the impact and my hip will have gon from left, to right to center by then in a fluent movement.
Reverse Punch: Only difference between the lunch and revers punch is that the hand you're punching with corresponds to the back leg. The reverse punch generates more power then the lunge punch generally.
The concept behind the hip movements is Xing in Japanese. Essencially you're drawing your power from the ground up through your legs and hips and your hips act as a cannon (the term my sensei uses) propelling the punch and the explosion (power of the strike) is all released upon impact with your target. Same concept used in baseball pitching. THe human arm cannot throw a ball 90mph with only their arm, no matter how strong you are. They use their hips and they pivot in nearly the same manor
In a real fight situation, you won't necessarily chambered in the same way. you're hands will be up in the standard fighting position, however, as demonstrated to (an on me) the whole, stance establishment, chamber, hip rotation and reease of the fist and impact can be done within a matter of a second...........

Most kicks are flashy so I'll talk about the more popularized kickes; front kick, roundhous and side kick....these are all typical body kicks however the lower body should pertain to the lower body meaning the kicks should be aimed at the leg like the Kansetsu....
Front kick: either the front leg out or the back leg out. Proper execution is first to bring the knee up tucked in and release the kick center line to either the groin area, stomach, or solar plexes. The part of the foot that makes contact is either the ball of the heel or curl the toes back and hit with them.
Round house: Again, either the front or back leg. With the front leg executing the attack, it's a quick release; you'll pivot on the heel of your back leg, bring your front leg up tucked in and horrizantal so that it's almost parallel to the ground and you'll release your kick, into the ribs of your opponent. THe position of the supporting foot on the ground shoud be (first before the kick- facing fowards, upon contact, it should have turned significantly more then 90degrees. WIth the back leg executing the attack. You'll swing your back leg up pivoting your front leg. At this time you're the same as with the front leg. the supporting leg should have been turned more then 90degrees and your leg tucked in nearly parallel to the ground and and you're toes (don't kick with the toes)
Side Kick: three ways ways to do this. First two ways are stationary with either front or back legs. Second is stepping side kick with front.
1) front leg kicking: you're body will face the side slightly, you will pick your front leg up in the same manor as the front kick. The outside of your thigh, calf and blade of your foot will be facing the direction you want to kick and the you will shoot your leg out attacking with the side of your foot and it will head in a straigt path, unlike the round house where you shoot the out and around. This hits the front of your opponents's ribs, stomac, solar plexes. Supporting foot is facing 90 degrees of where you shoot your kick.
2) Back leg: you'll bring your foot around, similar to the round house kick however you'll end up in the position stated above for the side kick with the front leg and execute the rest as specified above.
3) Stepping side kick: You're attacking with the front leg. With your back leg, you'll step behind your back leg so that your back leg is now ahead of it. The cap of your back leg's need should be behind the knee cap of you front leg. Bring the front leg up as specified and the above actions as before apply....
This is all technical talk, sensei makes us understand the rationality behind this stuff first before we can even do anything xd
Hate is such a strong word senpai...alright I'll confess, I copied it from my brain, it was telling me things to write and I just did whatever it told me to write...
