Learning how to do the trips is important as well. Read on to find out how to do them properly.

This can be used after you went down, escaping a high kick, or in other situations like it. To do it, it is desirable if your opponent is standing on one leg. However, it isn't a requirement.
The leg moves in a circle, and it should be almost straight. It is possible, of course, to go down first and then perform a low mavashi geri. However, this is different. To gain maximum speed you should go down and turn at the same time; so that when you are down, your leg has maximum speed. It is possible to touch the ground, but you will fare better if you keep your back straight.

It is a form of attack. Even if your opponent manages to keep his balances after giving him this, it should do him some damage. There are several variations of this technique. Some are done in a nice and soft way, but mostly this is performed with a kick.
To do this technique, the foot is used, or the area between the foot and the knee (in which case, the kick is even stronger).
The attack is performed so that the foot moves in a circle, from the outside to inside or from the inside to the outside.
There are two scenarios wherein you can uses this. First, your opponent's weight is on the foot that you are attacking. In this case, it requires more energy; but if you are successful, your opponent's balance will be completely compromised. The second scenario: your opponent is moving, and his weight is going to be on the foot that you are attacking;the commitment is already made, but the move is not yet complete. In this case, you need very little power to deflect your opponent's foot from its trajectory. Timing is much more important here than in first scenario.
Often, this technique is done together with punches. For example, you give a punch and your opponent moves back. Releasing some weight from your front foot will make it esasier for you to apply this technique.
