that kick isnt actualyl massively difficult, just work on building explosive power from the legs..... judging by his postiion in the picture he took quite a fast run up to this [2 steps is quite normal].

Practice lots of jump kicking on surfaces your not afraid to fall on :D

Good height , but if u think u will be able to use it anywhere else but the dojo ... think again :)

I got mine high like that with a ton of stretching, leg exercise and training in front of a mirror. For hte training, I would just stand in front of the mirror (after a good stretch) and begin jumping straight up (lifting from the balls of the feet to feel the calves working). I would do that for about a 1/2 hour a day. After the height was getting descent, I would start doing it with 1 or steps. It takes time and patience.

If you look at the photo, I would estimate the knot of his belt at 5 feet off the ground or so. (You can mark that point on your mirror with some tape and use it as a goal for getting the knot of your belt up to)

Ha ha ha! That's great. Kicks like that are great for forms, but not very realistic. I am dying for someone to pul something like that on me.

That kick is not hard to learn and impractical . And it was taken from a low place ( the photographer was sitting .. ) therefore it seems to be very high

I tried to use that kick once and what my opponent did is simply step back , I felt to the ground . Lucky for me it wasn't a real situation

I can't see any use with this kick ,but in the beginning of my karate I thought this was the ultimate ! I think the double maie geri jumping kick in kankodaie is much more effective than this tobigeri ,this is only good for camera ! :D

never give up !

i agree. though, it looks real good, in all my years of training & sparring & real fights, never once have i pulled this on anybody nor has it been done with me. double maie geri seems like a more practical choice. in a fight, my objective is to be the one standing at the end regardless of how "pretty" i look.

Wisdom is knowledge rightly applied. To fight wisely is to rightly apply techniques.

I used to think it was the ultimate also, seeing everywhere and thinking that it would actually work. I now feel being on the ground(i dont mean grappling but keeping your feet firm on the ground) is much more useful and fast and powerful. But that I guess you could say is a biased opinion since I take shotokan...
