Hajime Kazumi shows the power and versatility of gedan mawashi geri In two beautifully edited kumites Hajime Kazumi shows the endless possibilities of kyokushin's gedan mawashi geri (outer and inner thigh kick). First against an opponent with better mobility and great kicking technique (Gary O'Neill), as a way to put pressure and corner the opponent in combinations with tsukis and counters. Later, against a bigger opponent who overpowers him and has a great reach advantage (a young Glaube Feitosa) as a way to keep distance and take advantage of his superior speed and stamina. Maybe not as flashy as a jodan mawashi KO but equally technical and effective. Hajime Kazumi demonstrates the power and versatility of gedan mawashi geri In two kumites of elegant edition Hajime Kazumi demonstrates the vast strategic possibilities that gedan mawashi geri offers (footed to the external and internal part of the muscle). Firstly, against a competitor with superior mobility and excellent leg technique, you can neutralize it through constant pressure with combinations of fists and low kicks until you achieve the ippon. Bonus: referee Shihan Isobe! He fights against a opponent of much greater size, power and reach (connects the three of them to Jodan without having to take a career!) He uses the gedan mawashi to maintain distance and wear him down. Finally, when the superiority of his physical conditioning comes to fruition, he uses gedan mawashi to punish Feitosa's slowness and exhaustion. Inspiring truth. Oss!
