    Thread starter is concerned with side kick "supporting leg" bent or straight. The importance should be on hip alignment, supporting foot, and Fa-Jing energy directed thru this process. I have not seen anyone acknowledge Fa-Jing "Energy".

    Please don't generalize sportfighters in such a manner. San Shou players have "big mitts" on their hands. UFC, Pride, and most amateur USA NHB events have gloves that pad the knuckles and backs of the hands, and have no effect on hand flexibility or the palms. They do not inhibit capturing skills in the least.

    Yup, that's what happens when the bubble toe of a jump boot squeezes between two ribs in the back.

    Easy and effective.
    1. Move out of it's way, and/or
    2. Move the kick to either side.
    3. Move back just out of it's range.

    Needs practice.
    1. Crecent Kicking the leg aside. Can also be done with the knee.
    2. Slipping the kick and kicking the support leg.
    3. Kicking the kicking leg with a front kick.


    Careful catching a side kick straight on, sometimes you catch the **** things and the guy will still manage to land it on you.

    I quit after getting my first black belt because the school I was a part of was in the process of lowering their standards A painfully honest KC Elbows

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    1. stomp kick his but if he chambers, his thigh if he doesn't. (The WT crowd know what I'm saying)

    2. shuffle back and drop your elbow on his ankle. For the rest of you.

    Well said Roque,

    My experience with TKD practioners, due to their bouncing and high stances, very easy to time and power thru. Extremely vunerable to sweeps and not all effective with hand work. I have found the Korean arts having a fast sidekick, but no power. In CMA, some Shrfus teach Fa-Jing energy with techniques.

    yu shan,

    I have not seen anyone acknowledge Fa-Jing "Energy".
    perhaps not in name. people have acknowledged differences in power issuance. if fa jing is different from what's already been mentioned, how so?

    stumblefist,

    i was thinking something similar, yeah. saying "what about [insert culturally specific buzzword here]?!" seems like a bit of a null argument. but i'm trying to give yu shan the benefit of the doubt.

    that said, i would like to hear specifically how fa jing differs from the sorts of comments already made on power in this thread. without that explanation, repeated calls of "fa jing" are kinda meaningless. (meaningless to me, as a reader, i mean)
