LOOKS FUN, I WANNA TRY:mad:
OMG THE SCIATIC NERVE !!!
:p;)
Did that guy twist his own foot backward from trying to kick the other guys’ leg? What an idiot. This is why I do not fight professionally. I would probably do the same thing.
no, he broke his leg.
[QUOTE=shuaichiao;845495]no, he broke his leg.[/QUOTE]
There was another “better” version of that shot from the right side… the way the guy’s lower leg was flapping around was “disturbing”…

Yeah, kind of like that one, but the video ran it over several times in slow motion… I seem to remember the guy was wearing red trunks or black with a red stripe…
it can never be stressed enough:
DON’T KICK UPWARDS ON LOW KICKS !!!

Actually, to me it looked rather like the cause was that he impacted with the flat of his shin…

Which tends to happen when you low kick on an upward angle instead on INTO the leg or downward.
Can’t count the times it is drilled into people when they do MT or Kyokushin ( or any art that stress low round kicks) that you don’t angle the kick up because it exposes and makes contact with the weakest (flat) part of the tibia.

That’s what I thought I saw.
I guess it’s more of a worry for some of you guys, but in TCMA the way I learned it, we train and fight with our “street shoes”… in my case that meant boots.
When you “specialize” in something like that you get pretty good at using every advantage that said footwear offers… and creating some additional ones.

Righto! That’s why heel kicks are so important when wearing spike heels!

Hmmm… not part of my wardrobe.
You know anyone who’s got it down to a science?

Your boots go up to you knees? :eek:
'Cuase, you know, if they don’t then the tip about not angling low kicks up is still vaild. My sifu calls it “floating the kick” and floating a kick will cause you to fail the kicking portion of a rank test.

Nope, maybe mid-shin.

When you’re wearing what amounts to a multi-tipped/edged weapon, it’s kinda silly to kick with anything other than that weapon.
You never miss? Or get checked?
[QUOTE=Becca;845890]You never miss? Or get checked?[/QUOTE]
I’m not at all sure what that has to do with anything.
But, I am human, and nobody’s perfect.
I’m not in the habit of executing a technique with the expectation that it will miss or be checked.
It’s generally a “better bet” when there is little/no chance of that happening.
So, I “choose my shots” and the fact that I have a few decades of experience helps me to “load” the odds a bit.
My approach to MA appears to be rather different than yours.
So how old is your SiFu? 
mmmm… about 4 months older than me.
His sifu is in his sixies and says the same thing, though.
The relevance is that an accidental hit on a shin is usually just as bad as a deliberate hit. bad technique’s gonna brake your leg either way.

Nice non-answer.
I’m just trying to figure out if this guy you think I need a promotion from was even born when I was already a recognized instructor.

I don’t particularly care what either one of them say.

“break”
It’s not at all relevant when you’re kicking with a boot.
In fact, the boots are a rather effective purposeful counter-attack to an opponent’s shins (or any other part of his leg/anatomy) at any time, and especially when they try to kick.
I consider it “bad technique” to even think of kicking with your shin… of course, I also recommend that folks not try to actually fight bare-footed.
