What is the function of side kick?

Side kick is similar to front kick, mainly depending on how high you kick.

1: Generally, leg movements higher than the waist span are easy to be dodged, intercepted or even caught by the enemy, so most of these leg movements are for practicing flexibility and strength.

2. Kicking across the same span is generally to open or measure the distance between the two sides, with low hit rate but great strength.

3. Low kick speed makes it difficult for the enemy to notice that the attack point is also the opponent's support point, which has wide practicability.
