What do you want, a critique?

I made that clip partly in response to a discussoin on kicking on another thread. I want to see if anyone can see what that clip has to do with kicking.

Do you know what is being shown in the clip?

A critique? Sure. If you think you know what you are looking at I would love a critique. The clip is a little rushed but I think it shows the general idea. What's your critique? What are you looking at there?

Looks like a thai kick to me (having never trained in Muay Thai and just watched clips).

I hope I linked the right clip....checking.....

DOH!

Linked the wrong clip.

Check back in about 5-10 minutes while I get this straightened out. .....how embarrasing.

I just made a small handfull of clips today and got them mixed up I guess. Cullion, could you do me a favor and take down that wrond link you quoted? I wanted to post that later on. Hopefully not too many people have already looked at that clip *groan*.

It's just a guy practicing roundhouses in a gym... is it you?

What does it have to do with kicking? Well, he's doing a kick... His legs are relatively straight throughout which suggests to me he's using his core, but other than that i don't know?

Yeah I know. I wanted to make a point about footwork. Hand on untill I get the right clip up there. Yes. That's me.

Alright, so I've now completely ruined all the mystery for at least 58 posters who have viewed this thread already but anyways, the proper clip is up.

The second clip, the one Cullion quoted is partly for Kidspatulas benifit.

*blech* I sure fucked up this one.

lol.

Thanks Cullion.

I gotta admit, I don't really know what it has to do with kicking. It looks to me like somethingfrom baghua. i dont see the soles of your feet much. A few years ago, when I was a wing chun nut and into all that stuff, I probably would have told you.

Now, if it doesnt look like a kick, i dont see how it trains a kick. Im not saying it doesnt, im just saying I cant see it.
