Hwa Rang

you guys are looking at fly kicks from the perspective of using them often in self defence. I'm against all the fancy shit, I just want to see if there are some situations that it wouldn't be stupid to use some of the types of fly kicks. I'll admit that it is probably impossible to have them completely untelegraphed.

i've used flying kicks in a real fight, so dont take all these people's shit. they're just jealous that they can't do flying kicks.

Hwa Rang

thanks sirmattu, how can someone even comment about a fly kick if they can't even pull them off, whats the point in commenting?

I guess you call yourself HandtoHand for a different reason? lol

You can make a thousand wise, intelligent, well-informed comments and then ruin it all by saying the only thing anybody will remember...

Why did you ask our opinion? It is obvious to me that you wanted us to say "Yes, they work".

Well they don't. They put you in more danger than the guy you are kicking in a real go. And sirmattu is clearly telling porky pies.

But you carry on and train them. You use them in a real go. After all, someone has to keep nurses in work.

You clearly have missed the intellectual value of my statement. Don't serve me your much-valued and well-informed opinions tainted with your scatological references. You were doing great until you (and I repeat) "said the only thing anybody will ever remember you saying".

Next time, try a little harder, I'm sure you can rise to a higher level. And in the meantime, "Two words; shut------up".

It is art. Recognized and accepted as art by many highly respected authorities. Rbt. Mapplethorpe's work is included in the Guggenheim collection, as well as many other private and public collections. His work continues to be studied and exhibited. Bob Stickel's work also falls in the same category; widely published, exhibited and highly regarded in an artistic context. Trust me on this one, it's art.

Anyway, you're focusing only on the negative part of what I said...
I thought it was funny that you were making some very intelligent points, then hung a left turn along the way and started going on about self-administering the ol' RNC.

Good job, my man.

Keep on wearin' that giant clock on the necklace and put your hands in the air like you don't care.

Now on the count of 3, say with me "Yeaaahhh, oooohh, Yeeaaah, Ooooh"

Flying Kicks are not done by a running start like those of Karate and Tae Kwon Do running start the flying kick....

in KungFu, it is done directly, or take a one step then flying kick...., the only important thing is that your KungFu moves especially the KungFu flying kicks are not telegraphic to the eye of the opponent.....

Note:
Simple, Direct, and To The Point......

What is a fly kick? A kick started from 10 meters away where you run and then jump and fly through the air? No not much street value there unless your target isn't looking..... but if all you mean is JUMPING kick then yes of course they have value, it's pretty much the same as doing it without jumping, you don't have to jump up in the air to be jumping, just a couple of milimeters gets the same projection of power and explosiveness.

I still don't understand why people that aren't proficient in certain things actually have an opinion on them.

certain attacks, yeah. i think remy bonjasky proved that the flying roundhouse was pretty effective against Carter
