This Martial Arts Master Doesn't Block Low Kicks... Instead, He Welcomes Them

Most fighters try to avoid low kicks. This Japanese martial arts master does the exact opposite. Hiromu Inoue Sensei demonstrates a remarkable Shorinji Kempo technique that allows him to intercept an incoming low kick, redirect its force, break his opponent's balance, and immediately transition into a takedown or counter. But the technique goes much deeper than simply "catching" a kick. Through Goho, Juho, Kuzushi, distance control, timing, and precise body mechanics, Shorinji Kempo teaches practitioners how to turn an opponent's own attack into the beginning of their defeat. In this video, we'll break down: How Hiromu Inoue deals with low kicks Why he doesn't meet force with force How the "curtain" concept works How Shorinji Kempo handles larger opponents How he intercepts dangerous uppercuts The connection between Goho and Juho How Kuzushi breaks an opponent's balance Why timing can matter more than physical strength This is not about brute force. It's about making the opponent's own movement work against them. This Martial Arts Master Doesn't Block Low Kicks...
