GERIS (Foot or leg technique)

These techniques are used in 4 levels. The majority of them are made in chyudan or gedan level.
1.- Sai Ge-dan (very low techniques. Fumikomi…)
2.-Ge-dan (techniques in the low area. Momo-geri)
3.-Chyu-dan (techniques in the medium area Waist)
4.-Yo-dan (techniques in the high area. Head)

Yodan level kicks are used in the deportive karate.

Mawasi geri: with toe's base or with the instep (deportive)

Sokuto geri kekomi: (with hip draft, penetrating)
Mika-zuki geri mawashi: (half moon) with the sole, without turning the hip
Sankaku geri: "Triangle form" (you throb in the kidneys with the koshi)
Momo geri: "descending" (you throb in the interior thigh with the koshi)
No mae keage (you throb with the koshi in the face)
