Re: RE: flying side kick (Ray) --__--__-- Message: 1 From: Ray To: The_Dojang Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:22:55 -0700 Subject: [The_Dojang] Cuban Athlete Barred Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Cuban Athlete Is Barred for Kicking Referee’s Face BEIJING (AP) — A Cuban tae kwon do athlete and his coach were barred for life after the athlete kicked a referee in the face following his disqualification in his bronze medal match. The Cuban coach, Leudis González, offered no apology for the actions of the athlete, Ángel Matos, during the men’s over-80 kilogram (176 pounds) match. Matos was winning, 3-2, in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan’s Arman Chilmanov. He remained there, awaiting medical attention, when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out. Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked the referee, Chakir Chelbat of Sweden. Matos then spat on the floor and was escorted out. “He was too strict,” González said, referring to the decision to disqualify Matos. Afterward, he charged that the match was fixed, accusing the Kazakhs of offering him money. “This is a strong violation of the spirit of tae kwon do and the Olympic Games,” the World Taekwondo Federation said in a release. It added that there would be a lifetime ban of González and Matos in all championships sanctioned by the organization and that all Matos’s records at the Beijing Games would be erased. In his first match, Matos defeated Italy’s Leonardo Basile, then beat China’s Liu Xiaobo, 2-1, in the quarterfinals. But he lost to the South Korean Cha Dong-min in the semifinals to land in the bronze medal match. “To me it was obvious he was unable to continue,” Chilmanov said. “His toe on his left foot was broken.” Matos won the gold medal in this division at the 2000 Sydney Games, dedicating the victory to his mother, who died on the day of the opening ceremony. At the 2004 Athens Games, he finished 11th. --__--__-- Message: 2 From: x x To: Subject: RE: [The_Dojang] RE: flying side kick Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2008 13:07:43 -0600 Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net > I've never seen any real practical application for the> jumping/spinning/flying/backwards/360*/540*/twisting/flipping/etc kicks.> Mark Gajdostik In response to Mark and others, I witnessed Dennis Brown (who took 2nd place to Skipper Mullins in the 1964 Internationals) drop a very large man with a spin back kick in 1965 and Bedel Mack (may he now rest in peace) use the same kick successfully while holding ice cream cones in both hands. While chasing an arrestee on foot, I executed a jump front kick to the midsection that worked very well. I would have preferred doing a jump side kick but there was no time to think of it when the man suddenly stopped and turned toward me. Conclusion: It all works if the conditions are right and the techique is sufficient.

Meaning their stomach? How'd you manage that...???
