Thank you in advance. kenjo __________________________________________________ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Michael Koblic" To: "Eskrima digest" Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2002 20:50:47 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] Kicks Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Regarding low line kicks, can anybody explain this: We get to see a fair few martial arts contest now on TV thanks to TSN. Recently they started to show a Japan-based competition called, I believe, "Bushido". Basically strikes, kicks and a lot of wrestling and submission holds. Unfortunately I have always joined the show in progress so I am hazy on details. The guys wear briefs and humungous shin and knee pads. The effect of their low line kicks is devastating, the opponent goes down after about three, or is disabled enough to take a high kick and go down. I do not think that this is a WWF-type of show, these guys look serious. We also get to see a lot of Muy Thai. These are international competitions, so presumably no rabbits. Their low line kicks also hurt, but they do not seem to disable as dramatically as they do in Bushido. What is the reason for this difference? Is it the shin pads and consequent ability to unleash full power without hurting one's shins? Is it the effect of the hard surface of the shin pad? I have always believed that the shin conditioning in Muy Thai fighters is such that they can kick tree trunks. Also, there are not many human body parts harder than the shins. Is it that the Bushido guys seem bigger and generally more powerful?
