I have much of your excellent material. There is an interest (verging on fad) for knife sparring up here in Vancouver. Went in one, had a great time.

Wouldn't low gate kicks be more practical against a knife if the defender is unarmed? Also, wouldn't be more multi-functional an unarmed defender versus taller, greater reach and heavier assailant to sacrifice the extended range advantage of mid gate kicking for low gate kicking to be multi-functional? <br /><br />Pual Vunak told me to always carry a Spiderco knife and not to rely on JKD Kickboxing.<br /><br />I Don't necessarily agree but, believe kickboxing in general, needs to be more technologically evolved to drill practice wind pipe strikes with better prototype dummies and quality prototype sparring gear. I also, have discovered the kinetic mechanics in the guard and punches weren't perfected in logic and economy and can absolutely be improved!!! <br /><br />Bruce Lee invented the theory of right lead for right handers being the fastest, strongest punching to the the assailant target (orthodox southpaw / left hander's guard position)in yours and my own lifetime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375567447849043456.post-67086258805085330192016-02-16T16:05:45.017-08:002016-02-16T16:05:45.017-08:00Hi KG, this may be some kind of record for slownes...Hi KG, this may be some kind of record for slowness of reply, but I clearly do not spend enough time with blog maintenance.
