I trained with a guy who was really great at that type of kick. He was a really good fighter, too. I saw him throw one of those in a tournament and his opponent ducked under the kick, then punched him in the head.

As for using the kick in training....we used to start doing one at a time, then
higher ranks would do two in a row. Sometimes we'd do them across the room, one after another. I'm sure that doing the kick is good for balance and coordination.

I'd have to question the practicality of using the kick in a real situation. Just my two cents.
