Poomsae techniques applied to fighting or SD. Pretty cool.

I'd like to expand on other portions of the video but I'd like to let others comment on it, or perhaps what I've posted so far. One thing I'd like to comment on, to offer a fair and balanced critique of the video was one of the kicks. At the 1:35 mark he kicks with the instep. I do not advocate kicking with the instep as the point of contact. It looks and sounds great against a compliant/semi-compliant opponent wearing gear. But in a real world fight, where both parties are probably moving chaotically and the environment may/may not be very friendly, it presents too great a possibility for self injury as opposed to the amount of damage it will cause. Sparring with pads and chest protectors are one thing, doing it for real against a violent attacker is quite another. Injure the instep and you've taken away one of your tools for defense. Rather, the shin is a better point of contact. Full disclosure, I've conditioned my shins and I've gone shin-to-shin with someone.
