I can still side kick chin high, from crane stance

[andy]

and return to the crane, right foot. left foot never was as good, because I fight lefty, but it will go chest high. anyone who thinks that a guy with a bad back would DARE make such kicks is crazy.

Or stretching the truth a mite. :nyah:

I've never done that, never needed to. Yet all the lames are SO sure that NOBODY could be as good as I am. Actually, I'm embarrassed to have retrograded so much, due to 13 years of prison, 2 years on the run, and 5 years on parole. That situation is now rapidly being corrected.

And that will get you flipped sideways on your back. and your knee popped out if you try that anywhere but a belt mill.

JD you publicly stated on open forum that you have bulging discs from humping porta pottys. I read what you posted myself as did others. Even if you had your back operated on you wouldn't be doing those kind of kicks, especially at your age.

Or, as they say in serious martial arts "a veteran smiles at a closed fist and laughs at a high kick."

[andy]

hell, I could do it to YOU, no problem at all. :-) Just because YOU can't do something doesn't mean a better man can't do it. just have to have the balance, speed, and "set up" moves to take advantage of, that's all. A proper kick, aimed at your outstretched hand, will hit that hand before you can react and move it.

I've heard of that MA book where you got all those kicky moves. It was written by "One Hung Lo" (the ruptured chinaman). :nyah:

Devil made me type that.

Good for you. Pretty much everyone in my family can do this too, except with either leg.

From cat, horse, female, crane, and others.

I'm happy for you. I'm also happy you think you are better than anyone else at your martial art.

Some of your posts make me question your applications of your martial skills, but that just could be due to the way you post and how you like to omit context.

But, the bottom line, good for you.

:devil:

Look into a mirror and repeat it at least 10 times. That way, you will see somebody that actually believes you.

After reading Gunkids post, I can't help but think "Wax on, wax off." Mr Myagi would be proud...

I think Mr. Miyagi would have given up with Gunkid. He'd have thrown in the towel after the 1000th time of having to revive him and remind him "Don't forget to breathe." :dgrin:
