EarthWindFire Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Example: We practice kicking high so that when we kick low we hit are target better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Great idea for a thread. I can't think of any others off hand, however, I've always been suspect of the high/low kicks claim.It different balance, target area, torque, form, ect. They are different animals with different uses. If you want to be good at one or the other, then practice it. Kicking high will help you kick high, same for low. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UselessDave Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I think it is a horrible mistake for practitioners of styles which do not include high kicks, to ignore the relevance of high kicks even if the weight is on lower kicks.

Lee M Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Its like saying push ups will improve your punches - its not a specific exercise that improves the execution.In this context your saying higher kicks improve balance and strength for lower kicks...Like saying a triple roundkick will improve the strength in a single kick... martial arts training boxing for the streetstreet boxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoriKid Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If you want to get faster, slow down.Or, as I tell students, "Smooth is fast, slow is smooth, so slow is fast". Love the looks that gets.
