Drunken Monkey Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 quite a few studies have shown that baseball players swing at almost the same time, if not before, the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. seeing as there is a limit on human reflex time (motor neuron movement speed) it is quite clear that the batter is pre-empting the pitch. and yet another person giving that good old theory that if you watch the shoulders you can see a kick coming. actually, if the shoulders move, it just means that the other guy is moving. it could be that he is stepping, punching, changing line, changing stance or perhaps it is a kick. if everytime you put up a guard when you see if his shoudlers move then you are going to be trouble very soon. also, i can pretty much kick without moving my shoulders. as can most wing chun guys, mantis guys, hung gar guys, choy-li-fut guys and many, many more. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Guy_Mendiola Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 The kinda kick I saw was in the Korean Tigers demo video clip and the korean dude did a 720 spinning heel kick and that was amazing and I'll post the video later on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battousai16 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 and with all that said, i've come to notice that in korean styles, at a certain point, the opening chambers of all of your kicks start to look like the chamber for a front kick, thus masking the kick you're about to execute. i suppose knowing that a kick was coming to your head in advance would do you pretty well, but i'm pretty sure mr. wallace wasn't just limited to kicking in one spot. and, without knowing who herb perez is, i think you're underestimating a kick coming at 60mph. i may be overusing this little bill wallace fact here, but that's really freaking fast.

I'd have to agree with you, and I know who Herb Perez is... (No disrespect to him - BTW.) Simply put: F = m * a F = net force, m = mass, a = acceleration p = m * v p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity W = F * d W = work, F = force, d = distance P = W/t P = power, W = work, t = time Anyway you look at it, it's gonna hurt...
