This technique is divided into front and side checking kicks. The
former is performed with the back sole supported with the ball of
the foot while the latter uses the side sole. Unlike the other
kicks, the checking kick is kept momentarily on the target during
the block.
Basic principles:
The blocking tool should reach the target in a straight line.
Keep the body half facing the target at the moment of the impact.
Do not bend the stationary leg more than necessary at the
moment of impact.
Front checking kick
This technique is performed with the back sole supported by the
ball of the foot. Unlike other kicks, the checking kick is kept
momentarily on the target during the block. Since the purpose of
this kick is to restrict the opponent's freedom of movement, it is
normally executed when the opponent rushes or attempts to
close in. The chest and solar plexus are the targets.
Side checking kick
This technique has a dual function. One is to block the attacking
foot directed to a low section and the other is to impede or check
the opponent's movement. In both cases the foot must be ready
for a counter-attack or any type of consecutive action. The tibia
or knee area is the target, and the blocking tool should reach the
target in an arc.
