Are high-kicks really useful?

[Emerald Torch]

Every almost every real martial artist I know tells me high kicks are completely useless in a fight. But is it true? Mirko Filipovic and Peter Aerts have both been able to use them in fights extremely effectively, but would they work in a real fight?

[Torakaka]

since Cro Cop used them in MMA they are obviously useless in a real fight.

I can't kick for shit when I'm high. All I wanna do is eat. What are you doing kicking when your high anyway? You should be talking to hot chicks or playing Xbox or something useful. Wierd question...

:f-off:

Good point. Cause if you can use it in a real fight than it's not good for a real fight. :ingun:

Shit!Ok!It's killing me.Who are these Martial Artist?And why are they 'real'?

I think the most realistic application of high kicks is so pussies can flush the urinal without having to touch the handle.

Just some friends of mine. By "real" I mean not some white belt. I guess I should have said experianced.

High kicks can be useful if you can use them without getting fucked over. Which I suppose depends on the individual and the situation.
Some would say a flying armbar isn't very useful. Some would say a headless torso isn't very useful. But it depends on the situation.

One of them does Kung Fu, while the other one does Tai Chi and 2 other styles I can't remember, but one of them started with an "x".

I know a surreal martial artist, and asked him about the application of high kicks... he said "reluctantly porcupine" as he pressed caviar into the gaps of a dove's soul whilst bathing in monkey-tears.

They're completely correct... unless you need to kick someone in the head, then I think high kicks might be useful...:tard:

A high kick to the head is a dangerous, risky move. I would suggest that you jump up and throw a low kick to the head.
