Beka Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 If u think about it though, if ur ever attacked, say on the street then ur gonna be wearing shoes, so u might as well get used to it. Exactly! I make a point to practice at home in my normal clothes. I wear my every day jeans, my t shirt, and a normal bra and hair-do, and of course, my regular shoes. I only buy pants that I can kick in (ie. stretch jeans) for that 'just in case' kinda thing. My neighbor think I'm weird when I go up and down my driveway kicking and punching, but they can bite me I think it's a good idea for anyone to practice in their normal clothes and shoes. However, if I'm ever caught wearing high heels, I better get used to slipping them off fast and feeling some gross, dirty concrete under my feet. ick.

Dijita Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 A high heel in the "junk", I can imagine feels anything but pleasurable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beka Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 A high heel in the "junk", I can imagine feels anything but pleasurable. Yeah, I would reckon so, but at the same time, can you balance well enough to kick while standing atop some stilettos? I can hardly walk straight, let alone get all karate on your booty. I think perhaps removing the shoe and then using it as a weapon may be better. I'll stab you in the eye with my heel, ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironberg Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 There were a few times in the winter months that I would do some TKD kicking with my heavy boots on. That was gambling with my joints so I stopped after I thought about it. It wasn't too bad - momentum kept the feet pretty fast despite the extra weight.

tommarker Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 a good pair of combat boots is like an instant black belt i dunno that i'd try a jump 360 roundhouse, but those front kicks and side kicks turn nasty quick.I'll stab you in the eye with my heel, ha!

tommarker Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 They seem a bit overpriced... considering they can't be much more complicated than a pair of their indoor soccer flats. I'm no longer posting here. Adios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironberg Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Here here - but then again, you're talking to the cheapskate here.

Rich_2k3 Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 I've seen about 6 ppl wearing them at my gym, I had a look and there really light, like a feather and the pivot point is excellent. I'm not really bothered bout price to much, i wont just wear em 4 karate.
