A person with long, powerfull and quick legs can make use of some aspects of the style in practical self defence. I've use a standing side kick to a enemys face with dramatic and decive effect. Another good thing about it is when you train to kick powerfully and quick with high kicks your low kicks become quicker and more natural. I dont use kick kicks alot sparring but I feel that the ablilty to use them has helped the speed of my teeps and low kicks. Anyways its just a tool. The real power gained from it comes from the user( who may or may not be able to use it effectivley). The americanization/commercialization of the art has watered it down alot though and I feel its only for fat kids and old people around here. Thanks for the chi info M. Artist
