Haven't been training for too long, but here's what I think:

Two things I assume when training:

1. The guy I'll be fighting is a GOOD FIGHTER

2. He's got friends.

It's - not - tough - to - beat - up - idiots. Sure, you can sucker a couple of street fighters into your kick, but what happens if he knows what he's doing and closes the gap?

It's not hard to close the gap on kick-people. And what are you going to do when that happens? I'm sure the stuff works great in a fight, just like punches, joint locks, throws and submissions, but any ONE of those things without the rest is not entirely reliable.

4 ranges man, 4 ranges.

Plus tae kwon do has some crazy telegraphing going on no?

My $0.02

Sameer.
