Side Kick

The side kick can be more difficult to land than the front or round house kicks as it requires a more bladed stance has to be targeted at a smaller area with less margin for error. It can however deliver a lot of force either from a standing still position, or preferably with a gallop or leap into motion. When delivered above the waist I can easily send the target reeling backwards, when delivered to the knee of an approaching attacker, it can be used to exemplify Bruce Lee's sentiment: longest weapon to nearest target.
