Rather than using 'x' kick from 'y' style, he would ask the question "Have you maximized your ability to use of that kick?". If so, you own it. It's part of the *insert your name here* style, and you can use it as needed.

Anyway, like I said I'm just throwing in this post because it was told to me six hours ago. =)
