So what. His genes are there.
Btw. My kick on the bag is a half chamber. Meaning the knee is only half tucked.
This is more powerful than Muay Thai or the full chamber version.
Hence why I donât need to excert much energy and still blast it
If he forgot them there then they are probably long gone by now, just like Yugoslavia.
I would consider the kick in the video more of a slap than a blast.
I get your point but I am not talking about my foot at impact. At impact, I pull it (though still digging quite a bit).
Itâs the set-up, that is the key to power.
You could say that a half chamber is the best of both worlds. You get the baseball bat swing, but also some momentum from a half tuck
The quote is from another poster in your thread from the previous iteration.
I merely copied and pasted to show you havenât changed on iota. Still doubling down on things you know little to nothing about.

I do know a club that manages to pull off that touch sparring type style in full contact. They are a shotokan club i think.
Here is Cooper Royal. Who is their flagships at the moment.
He is very akward to spar. And it works very well for him.
I canât do it i just donât have the gas tank.
Okey mr know it all.
Here I am drunk doing a Japanese Karate side kick, my fathers art. Itâs one of two versions.
Why I am not throwing a TaeKwonDo side kick? Can you tell?
I actually tried it on a guy who started out as a boxer.
Heavyweight.
He couldnât touch me clean, but I had to circle constantly and even blocking his strike knocked me back because I wss much lighter.
Very tiring. But I do have a good gas tank.

Btw, that former boxer, who was 50+, stiff as a refrigerator, had the hardest front kick ever.
We only did hands sparring, but when I held a shieldâŚ
Dude, this guy could shake an elephant. It was insane.
The only kick he could do properly but manâŚ
Not a know it all. Do know there are way more than two versions of side kick.
Japanese or Korean.
You should know this. Being a red belt by your admission in the old site.
Your hands are still down.
Taekwondo kicks hyperextend the leg and are launched as thrusting or pushing motions.
Shotokan kicks jerks the entire body, and doesnât hyperextend. In other words, Shotokan kicks always snap.
Ever wondered why TaeKwonDo guys canât punch worth a shit? Compare their katas⌠Taekwondo does their punches soft, Shotokan does their haaard, and explosive. This style of punching is ingrained into students when they move over to sparring .
And they of course place greater attention to it in basics class
Kata isnât a reflection of fighting pretty much at all. At best it is a conditioning exercise.
So if anyone is fighting likey they do kata. They are probably going to be terrible.
This isnât a theory. TaeKwondoins had hands on par with karatekas when they performed katas the same.
The punches in isolation do matter regardless of how ridiculous everything else is in katas.
If you never punch hard, controlled and explosive in basics training, you never will in sparring.
It depends whether you skills training is any good.
It is like trying to determine how good tenth planet are at submissions by watching them break dance.
Anyway good excuse for a steve vic highlight.
I am not saying that they fight worse. Iâm saying they punch worse, due to dog shit kata mechanics where they never learn how to explode into a punch
You donât want to explode, you wonât come back from something like that.

Mawashi geri here. Thereâs some things I need to work on (I donât have a dojo) but the spirit is there.
My fathers analogy was âmatch stick ignitionâ
Now on the subject of hands up. If you are in a self defense situation , and you need to get out of there, your hands canât be raised,since that telegraphs your intention of throwing down⌠You kick and get out if there.
If somebody challenges me however, then I put them up.
