    So at TKD class today we were drilling kicks, working up through the grades until we come to the twisting kick

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJWoz9ynD-U"]DRILL: Twist Kick by Barry Shackleford - YouTube[/ame]

    After the class I ask my teacher the application of this unusual kick and he replies that it is designed to be used to strike the groin and the twist removes certain parts of the male anatomy...

    Is this true?

    Can other kicks be used to remove other body parts?

    Yeah, I've used the spin wheel kick to cut a man clean in half at the torso. Just strap a sword on.

    My opinion: No, it isn't true. I don't think there's enough stank on a twist kick to make it worth the effort, quite honestly.

    I don't particularly agree with that interpretation :)

    The vid shows it as a very flicky point fighting kick, which it can be, but I've seen people deliver it solidly at height such that it can break multiple boards and even deliver it essentially over their own shoulder.

    Here's someone not unknown to MAP doing it middle section:)

    it is good at going around guards, my TKD teacher could kick you in the face at the same range as a jab punch, which was a bit less disconcerting than standing too far away and getting caught with the sliding side kick, nothing like my yop cha jurugi

    Reminds me of some early days footage of kyokushin, one guy has a smoke in his mouth, while another does a mai geri front kick and plucks it out at full speed with his toes. Seems a bit ambitious to consider the plums being plucked out that way though lol.

    Nice kick though, unfortunately, i reckon my lower leg would fly off across the room if i attempted something like that these days :)

    Its not an unusual kick.. its a standard kick taught at (1st Dan) BB levels!

    Another example of a ridiculous 'take' on applications (And I mean no offence as its often a case of Chinese Whispers or Monkey see.. or more Monkey hear!)

    Well obviously, Jazzy only wore trainers so he didnt slice the board into quarters :)

    Is it true.... Pfffft

    Sure.. boards can break, but testicles do not fly!

    Dwijibun Sonkut Tulgi may come closest to achieving that however lol :)

    In the first video Mitch posted why did the guy bring his knee in before snapping the kick out? Was is to get more power? It just seems to me that it would be considerably slower than picking the leg up facing were it is going and then twist your body into it.

    Ahh! so it is possible to remove body parts with this kick

    Use a strap on ?

    Did you just make up this word?

    Thanks all for your responses. I am a little disapointed, but a little relieved also

    Get that kick wrong and it's possible to remove your own ACL. :)

    No. But I'm probably misusing it. :)

    You can never misuse a word if you are describing the power of a strike though.
    I once got told I had a left hook "with some pastie on it".* I knew what he meant.
    By comparison "stank" is positively descriptive.
    :)

    * To those outside the UK a pastie is a sort of meat and potato pie food stuff.

    was it a nasty pastie left hook?

    if you throw them without the silly wind up they're quite quick as a groin kick, actually. and no, you didn't use the word stank correctly. it's the past tense form of stink :p

    All depends on height I guess as well. If you do a high section twisting kick its hard to remove any testes (unless they are on their head of which some people have just below their #*&$).
