Discussion Train Low Kick (gedan mawashi geri)

Hey Guys,

Kyokushin Karate white belt here.

How would you guys train the low kick if you don't have a bag or pads to hit at home?

Is going through motions in air enough and then apply them in sparring at training?

Also, I can do it pretty well-ish on my right leg, but I need some work with my left, how would you approach this?

Thanks so much, would love to hear what you guys do/have done :)

Thanks!

Find a friend who will let you kick them.

Some people may think you are joking, but this is indeed one of the best ways to condition your legs and to develop an effective low kick.
