a hooking kick is against an attacker.

Andy Hucklesby (6th Degree Black Belt), a Senior Master, who instructs at Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London, kicking 6 building blocks placed upright on a support.
   The legs are much longer and stronger than the arms, and with systematic training they can be developed into unassailable and overpowering weapons for self-defence.

Tyrone Steve Tairu (4th Degree Black Belt) (left), a Senior Master hailed from Canada, using a well-timed side kick against his twin brother Kenny's flying side kick. Both brothers are dedicated Wu Shu Kwan instructors and possess great skills.
