Random thought on Life, Judo Olympics, Judo Self Defense, The Art or Judo Kata, Judo An International Sport. Things that inspire or annoy me or things that I just had to write down.A Lot of Leg Sweeps - Defending Against & Overcoming Kicks
I found this video and thought it was a lot of fun. Whilst some of the defences against the kicks presented may not be a viable proposition in a real fight, I think that it does show that those who treat kicking as the ultimate self-defence should be at least a little wary.

When I teach my Judo as self-defence classes one of the things that I emphasise is that there are only two ways to defeat a kick is:
- Move right out of the way of the kick
- Move right inside the kick
Move Right Out of The Way Of The Kick
I really don't think this requires a lot of explaination. The most concise description of the will, I think, always be "Best Block, No be there (Mr Miagi from Karate Kid - original can't remember if it was from I or II). You can't get hit or kicked if you are nowhere near the kick.
Move Right In Side The Kick
This is what the whole of this video is dedicated to.
Even if you don't agree as to the practicality of all of the responses to these kicks in this video, I think you will get a lot of pleasure watching and maybe even trying some of them. I know I plan on trying some in class.
