A quick question, if I may; according to Nagamine Sensei's book "The Essence of Okinawan Karate-do" there are the following kicks contained within the Chinto kata:
Fukubu geri (abdomen kick)
Kinteki geri (groin kick)
Nidan geri (flying front kick)
However, I am having a little trouble seeing where these kicks are, as all appear to be aimed at the abdomen level.
My questions are;
[list=1]
Where is the groin kick in the kata?
Is 'Nidan geri' a double kick, or simply a jumping kick where you effectively kick with the 'front' foot whilst leaping forward?
[/list=1]
