We're not disagreeing, if it's sufficiently slower, then yes less energy, but the point I was replying to was, that they found house kick would be harder, because the standing leg Is stronger than the resting arm doesn't hold true
Oh that much I entirely agree with.
If it was really about "borrowing force from the ground" (which in honesty is a phrase I hugely dislike) then my jumping turning kick (roundhouse) would have zero force.
Only it doesn't, it's pretty much equal to if I have the other foot on the ground.
Maybe it's my epic chi link transferring force from gaia and depositing it in my chakras for kicking? A bit like mystic wifi...
