    Out of interest, is there a video up of Liero's attempt? I'm interested in how fast/close he got?

    Having just looked through all 16 pages, I still couldn't find his video. It seems it went down (page 15 d0ugbug says that he still needs the video up)?

    How many "elite tkd" can kick that fast with power and off one leg? I have seen a lot of top TKD videos and none demonstrate that.

    This is not a style vs style issue as I have no foot in either camp, but I have not seen any kicker that fast that wasn't doing the "can-can" kick, and certainly none of them have the same impact.

    Here is another Muay Thai guy that is doing the same thing just nowhere near as impressive

    The problem is that after so many they become an exercise in aerobics rather than kicking per se - the first Muay Thai vid referenced again had real sting in the legs even at the end

    Rather than make this "Oh so-and so in MY style can easily kick like that..." and then have endless pages of unproven and unlikely anecdote either put up a video of it or do what I do and simply recognise a skilled martial artist kicking like a mule

    What do you mean by demonstrating?

    Steve Lopez constantly uses that kick in matches. I myself use that type of roundkick, it's effective.


    Do you mean doing it over and over again in a sparring match? I'm sorry, but you rarely get the chance to hit your enemy 50 times in 22 seconds in that manner.

    Errr...yeah, thanks for that Tips. By the way, the Millenium Falcon can't make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs either

    Why do I get the feeling you have just missed the whole point?

    Are you speaking with me? If so, I have no idea what you're talking about. At all.
