Elite-Fighters Kicking Categories - Part Six

The Elite-Fighters System of Martial Arts has devised a complete and unique approach to kicking methods in the martial arts. Within these, and the attached, documents you will find the appropriate level of kicking that will correspond to your ability. Grading your kicking ability at the Ranking Trials will assist in ranking you at the appropriate level. The following charts will describe the various categories, characteristics, and difficulty ratings. After you view these, you will then be able to plan properly to maximize your training, tactics and fighting style to be ranked at the appropriate level for your fighting ability.

The following chart lists the Combination/Specialized Kicks and their corresponding Difficulty Ratings. Combination kicks utilize two or more kicks in a flowing sequence. Specialized kicks utilize specialized striking methods or maneuvers that are not found uniquely within one of other kicking classifications. The following kicks are examples of what can be done within these categories. It is possible to expand on the examples listed below.
