Martial Arts @ http://www.elasticsteel.net/Articles.... [Martial Arts]
While not all martial arts styles use high kicks, most use kicking techniques. For those martial arts styles that do kick to the head, frequent injury acccours when the kick is aimed higher than the body allows. Three kicking tests show how high should one kick, judging by the abuility at the given moment. If the injury does not accure, from kicking to high, the speed power, focus, control and balance of the kick, will be diminished, thus leading to the decreased effectiveness of the kick.
This applies to Most Korean Martial Arts Styles such Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, Hapkido, etc. And other styles such as ShotoKan, Kaoushikan, Savate, Vovinam, Sikaran, Sport Karate or Karate Do, as well as many other styles. urban ninjas MMA martial arts karate death touch humor Ultimate Fighter UFC Stephan Bonnar fighting real aikido street fight martial arts libia war kick ass ultimate extreem self defence team wepon mma usmc box gun knife krav maga master free clip how to 10 dan nenad ikras Wing Chun Russian Systema Krav Maga Filipino Kali Escrima Brasilian granada bodyguard fighting championship security raw blade army boxing steven seagal morihei ueshiba oprah winfrey show hapkido sport k1 judo karate aiki ju jutsu exit defensa personal mortal combat system españa gang knockout hits police gimnasio

High kicks are meant to the face, knock out the face and you shouldnt be taken down. Taekwon do!

Grew studying traditional styles til my late teens before moving to Muay Thai., I was set to make a career of Martial Arts before a serious accident put me out of commission for a long time. This is the first decent video I have seen on these kind of styles and you've gained my subscription. Albeit I dont kick high for another reason., I can deliver more power lower and legs tend to break ;)

Good video's., look forward to going through them all :)

I can kick slightly higher than my head. Before karate I tried training with leg weights and injured myself because I didn't know what I was doing, I ended up with a pinched sciatic nerve that had me curling in pretzel forms trying to get comfortable so I can sleep. First time in karate I couldn't bend the tiniest bit to "touch my toes" now I can nearly reach them and I almost have no pains :)! I could barely lift my leg now I can reach it really high
