"Now we are going to cover kicks to multiple targets from outside position of the body. So again we will go from a punch. She throws a punch. I get to the outside position. From here I have many different targets that I can use. The good thing about things like a sidekick is that even though I am so close within punching distance I can still throw a kick. So from here I can chamber up into a side kick and actually execute a sidekick. Now also keep in mind though once you execute a sidekick, a very powerful sidekick you want to let go of this hand. For right now this is a control. Also you have the knee. You can stomp on the side of the knee. Possibly break it or you can stomp to the back of the knee you can actually push her down to the ground. We are going to switch positions so you can see a little bit better some of the other kicks. Again she throws her punch. I block to the outside position but even though I am outside I can throw a round house kick straight into the mid section or by changing up the arm just slightly over I can actually reach up to the side of the face. So you have a few kicks and I actually match up onto either side of the body. You have the face. You have the midsection. You have knees and you even have the kidneys right here. Using it with the side kick. So there is several different ways. This arm here you can use it as far as balancing yourself but you don't want to depend on it. So if I block and grab I am going to pull her off balance and into the kick but once I throw that kick if I don't have anything else set up that's where you want to let go so that you can plan to make your escape in a self defense situation. So those are just a few kicks that we are covering for the outside of the body position."
