Comment on Training for a Higher Side Kick Training by Manny

Paul is obviously very flexible, and his exercises are excellent, but his side kick technique is not very practical for actual combat. He advises turning the base foot out as you chamber the kick. That looks really cool when you are doing forms, but in a fight it’s a dead giveaway to your opponent. Also, if you don’t connect, it leaves you extremely vulnerable to being trapped and upended. Watch some videos of sanshou fighters from China, who use side kicks extensively. They keep the base foot stationary until the moment of impact, and then only turn out 45 degrees.

Ah very true you bring up a good point Alec! What are the differences between the Teutonic Knights and the Templar Knights? Are they different factions?

Let us not forget the great warriors known as the Teutonic Knights and also the Knights of the Temple (Templar Knights) in the time of the Crusades. I wouldn’t want to have met them in any weapon based combat of the time.
