Shouldn't you comment that it should be "off balance" pumpkin? Two f's.

But seriously, I don't get Tae Kwon Do or any art that focusses so much on kicking. If you kick you stand on one feet. What happens if you kick and someone just intercepts the kick and fends it to the side. Even if you don't just fall over then, you're not exactly standing in a position that doesn't leave you open.

Kicks land pretty hard compared to punches I guess, the all in of martial arts.


"Off" does have two f's. I should also point out that "focusses" should be "focuses". If someone throws a strong kick, "fending it to the side" is very unlikely. However, catching the kick and then using your own kick to knock out the standing leg of your opponent is something very easy to do against a heavy-kicking style. Once they fall, you can get on top of them and they won't be able to do much.

Here you go again, always, always first look it up before you correct something. The number of times I've been corrected to just reply with "lawl UK spelling bra, ignorant American much?"

I don't really see why it's unlikely that it's fended. A kick gives you a lot of time to react and your entire body signals it. Hell. This kick turns your back in half motion so you can probably do something with that, just punch someone before they're done. I'm not really convinced by the merits of kicking over punching. Yeah, they hit hard, but you're massively throwing all your eggs in one basket.

Except your legs are longer than your arms. Have you ever tried martial arts? You need to be really good to just block a kick and sweep someone off their feet if they know what they do. You shouldn't write so anti-kick based, gosh you're a negative nancy. Go to the other emo kids and play twilight.

No, you need to be about as good as they. Obviously when a kick lands it hits hard but if someone intercepts it then you lie on the floor. It's also very easy to just take a step back or stand aside because they are telegraphed considerably longer in advance than a punch.

You shouldn't write so anti-kick based, gosh you're a negative nancy. Go to the other emo kids and play twilight.
Ahaha, lol what?

Yes okay, I get it, because I'm sceptical about the merits of kicks I watch twilight ahahah.
