IUPAUechi Ryu Front kick
The IUPA Uechi Ryu front kick is an attempt to perform the kick as seen in tape of older Uechi Masters like Uechi Kanei Sensie and Nakahodo Sensei. In these tapes they all have a draw back of the hip before firing off the kick. Some say this is due to an operation Uechi Sensei had that affected his movement and I will never be in a position to know those kinds of details; however, for me the reason is not as important as the application that comes from this method. For CQC this is the way to kick in close. Again, as always this is just my take on it all.
