IN A HORSE STANCE A PRACTITIONER SHOULD HAVE HIS OR HER BACK STRAIGHT KNEES PUSHING OUTWARD AND FEET PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER THE STANCE SHOULD BE ABOUT SHOULDER LENGTH APART. iF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT YOUR DISTANCE THAN YOU CAN CHECK BY PIVOTING YOUR KNEE DOWN TO THE GROUND NEXT TO YOUR OTHER FOOT. IF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR KNEE AND YOUR OTHER FOOT IS TWO FISTS AND A THUMB THAN YOU HAVE A GOOD HORSE.
It's just a pro wrestling drop kick, you can see one at almost anytime watching wrestling. Landing on your feet isn't very hard. Just get a good run, (three or more steps is easier, but you can take just one if you like), jump off both feet, lay your body sideways (which side doesn't matter), and kick with both feet. To land on your feet and not on your side (or face as in wrestling) you have to snap your feet out quickly and pull them back in.
the dropping side kick is one of the best defensive kicking techniques known to any true martial artist. it is used in tae kwon do, kempo, karate, and many other varieties of martial art forms dealing with kicking moves. it also is used in basic self-defense. it is executed either when an opponent is trying to do a high kick to your chest or body, or when someone is charging at you. the first step to executing it is face the opponent sideways, with the foot intended for kicking in front, (which is advised that one should practice using both legs) facing the oncoming attack. then, with as little telegraphing as possible, wait until the target is in your kicking range. if they are stationary, then wait until the kick is halfway towards you. then still keeping your eyes in your target, place your hands out straight in front of you on the ground, and scoot your legs from under you, in the direction of the target. at this time you should be leaning on your back leg's thigh and your back arm's forearm. your front leg should should be chambered touching it's knee against your front arm's elbow. at this time the attacker should be right over you or his attacking foot should have kicked straight over you. then without a second thought, launch your chambered leg out, extending it completely. the heel of your foot should connect to the person's midsection if he's charging, or his groin if he's kicking. it is sure to give your opponent a rude awakening when executed in one fluent and extremely fast motion. easy to execute, but advised to be practised by oneself towards a vertical standing of some sort to practice power, and control in stopping the kick BEFORE it is connected. then after the kick is perfected, practicing with a partner in both given situations will develop a natural speed and reaction to this move.
DROPKICKS ARE EASY EASY EASY. I personally do th em with my left facing the ground. Just take a coup le of steps forward, jump UP and OUT and kick BOTH l egs out at the same time. I've never tried landing on my feet, i always just add a quick twist to the en d so i land push up style, and pop to my feet. A cool v ersion of this is to do a front flip into it (which, btw, i DO NOT suggest trying) If you wanna watch dr op kicks, watch WWE (or whatever pro wrestiling t hingy you watch) or you can play Tekken with King. He does very simple, easy to learn drop kicks to th e knees, and it doesn't take much effort to get the m chest or even head level. Looks really cool if yo u do it off a trampolinem, cuz its REALLY easy to ge t insane twists into it.
I get what you're saying about the bicycle kick, but to do it, are you supposed to stand, still, the n jump up and kick as many times as possible, or are you supposed to run and then do it?
