    i dont believe in santa claus
    Resistance is futile, teh Clerus is done. He awaits for the end aknowledging its presence everyday. When it comes he hopes to feel like being in the womb again.
    I am not here at the forum therefore, got nothing more to say and cannot save anyone (me included).
    I know i can resist for a good while, uknown is the value of while. Impermanence might be the only truth to life.
    Bye, peeps

    "Legitimate technique of a real martial style" or not I wouldn't trust this move as far as I could throw it; hell as far as anyone could throw it. Lousy power generation, big wind-up time, and the only payback is the element of surprise? If somebody tried a kick like that on me I'd be liable to just give them a leg up (if you know what I mean) until they fell down.

    If it's Savate, I get the feeling that Savate was setup more like a sport, a dangerous one for a while, but a sport none the less. From what I understand, the more flashy the trick, and the more you could pull off, the better you were. Savate matches weren't knock down drag out brawls, it sounds to me like they had rules. IT's possible within the rules this kick could work for what it is intended.

    All of you are so caught up in martial arts that you fail to realize that this is simply a follow-thru in bowling.

    The man in question obviously bowls left-handed.
    Your intelligence is surpassed only by your ignorance.

    You are more likely to fall down the stairs and break your neck if you live in a house with stairs. You are more likely to be in a car accident if you drive to work. You are more likely to be kicked in the nuts or punched in the nose if you practicing the martial arts. - Judge Pen

    Kung Fu is good for you.

    yeah - in this light, I'd say it was perfectly valid - like the sweep done with uchi mata or harai goshi. you see it in shuai chiao also.


    But, as a stand alone kick....

    sure is. they have her bent forward, about to guillotine choke her, and WHAMMO! she hits them with that kick. Very effective for her.

    If you follow all the way over and lead it to the front from the top, im pretty sure this is an eagle style kick, dont remember the name, but I have seen it. Or it may just be called an eagle kick. My memory fails me.

    As it looks in the picture, it looks like a few different techniques I learned in a drunken thing...

    One is the pull back of the opponents leg... sort of like a sweep...

    The other is a step to the side, grab and kick with the bottom of the foot, I've practiced it on a heavy bag a lot... I also punked some kid with it once, but I can't talk about that.....

    I think MK and I talked about this one a couple summers ago.
    practice wu de


    Actually I bored everyone to death. Even Buddhist and Taoist monks fell asleep.....SPJ

    My daughter used to do that in her Level 7 Balance beam routine for gymnastics. I don't think it's any sort of martial arts.
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    No use technique

    Great back scratcher skill though!

    We wonder why Kung Fu guys get laughed at from Most other arts?!

    Greetings,

    The way that kick is demonstrated it has no value at all. I have vcds about the chuo chiao style and still I don't get it. One of the sons of Ma Xianda, in an Qi magazine article, stated that not too many know how to used the chou chiao kicking method any more. I am starting to believe that. When the basic understanding of usage fades, the style fades.

    I did learn a reverse snap kick and that targeted the groin. It works well. Another approach would be throwing a reverse roundhouse kick while standing behind your opponent, hitting a target in the front. Or getting in close to your opponent and shooting a reverse roundhouse to the kidney area. Suddenness is of importance here.
