Side Kick was another kick that I thought I knew pretty well. But I didn't like to use it because I was always hurting my foot. I couldn't figure out what was wrong because everything looks like it is supposed to. When I read Side Kick, volume #10 in the Achieving Kicking Excellence series by Shawn Kovacich, I learned that I was using the wrong area of my foot to strike my opponent. I was using the entire side or knife edge of my foot to strike my opponent, rather than just the outside edge of my heel.
That made sense to me, so I tried it the next class I had. Not surprisingly, I performed the kick a lot more efficiently and was hitting the kicking bags harder without the pain that I was used to experience in my foot and ankle. There were a whole lot more things that I learned as well, but since this is my last review for this series of books, I wanted to point out some of the great things that are relevant to each kick that are included in each book. Remember that each section in each book directly relates to that particular kick.
1. Outstanding detail and approach to the principles behind the correct execution of each kick.
2. The mind blowing amount of detail that is included in each book is staggering.
3. The format of the each book is the same and very easy to follow.
4. The "Troubleshooting" section was very informative and answered a lot of questions.
5. The breakdown of each kick to its simplest level in order to enhance the learning process.
6. The "Notes" sections that are found throughout the each book are little gems of wisdom in and of themselves.
7. The additional sections on how to improve your kicking skills.
8. The "Applications" section, although brief is very informative and wets the appetite for the next set of books in the series.
9. The author's technical expertise is without question and the thought and care that he put into his books shines through in every way.
10. Finally, the author's style of teaching is very easy to understand and comprehend.
In closing I would like to highly recommend to everyone that reads my reviews on the books in this series to buy a complete set and see for yourself just how fantastic these books really are. You won't regret it!
