Traditional "Martial Arts" Appreciation Thread - (NO DISCUSSION)

Talking of 360 kicks - someone who has a long highlight reel of tornado kick KO's in Kudo & MMA - Adam Khaliev:




Just goes to show if you practice any technique well enough you can pretty much make it work.

I don't think I'd ever be able to throw a 360 like that - simply because it was never a part of any curriculum in any martial arts style I've done (kyokushin, uechi etc) and so I've never practised it to the degree that you'd need to - to get it to work.

But can definitely appreciate the skill required to get that to work 24/7. It's a beautiful technique to see work effectively.

It really isn't. It's play fighting. Looks cool and fun, but playfighting nonetheless.

Some training drills from a Chinese style called Chou Jiao. I like particularly like the mid section onward where they show their numerous intensive and rather brutal training for a simple low line front kick to the leg .Shows have emphasizing the practical and building it up can make can make a simple technique devastating,
