Just me

Low kicks are allowed in K1.

While K1 allows long pants (like kickboxing, karate or tkd pants) why nearly everybody still wears shorts?

Pretty good, but i like to do a longer (extend the leg more)

In your JKD, KM classes how much do you practice trapping? I heard its practised a lot in JKD.

In kyokushin karate is roundhouse kick done with instep, shin or ball of the foot? just interested.

Kick with heel or toe of the shoe to the solar plexus, the soft gap between the lowest rib just above the upper abs is devastating if it hits hard (but you could also throw a punch there) . Once i were sparring with my friend and i threw a side kick with heel to that target and he went down and couldt get up for a couple of minutes

Many people say that in the streetfight, you should only kick below the belt but i have seen bodykicks taught in many realistic self-defence arts like JKD, Krav Maga. I think they are effective because if you kick the opponent to the stomach for example, it leaves the opponent winded (most cases) and you can make your escape or to follow up with another technique. And for another example, sharp roundkick with toe of the shoe to the kidneys will drop most opponents. But, there is risks. One risk with bodykicks is that if you dont recoil the leg quickly enough, i can be grabbed. Please, tell me your opinions. EDIT: Now i mean kicks with the lower leg, not a knee.

Have you ever got hitt bare-fisted to the face? I have (me and my friend were filming a movie and he was supposed to hit me that way i would be looking real and accidentally he hit me really) and it really hurts!

Kicks can be effective. For an example: Its the fact that many bums and crackheads that could attack you in the street wont be using much of kicks simply because they dont know how to kick! So your attacker will propably only use punches and grabs. So you could easily keep him from attacking you because leg is longer than arm so kicking you opponet will prevent him from punching or grabbing you.
