A flying kick would not be bad if you land the thing what a beaten he took.

Man, he hurt himself on the fall probably worse than the other guy did. Looks like they all could have used a bit of training.

Hello, This video clip makes a good point! BUT it depends? ...most people will not expect a jump kick.

Every sitution will be different and your intincts to react will always be different too. Hopefully what ever you use will work to stop the fight from continuning.

In this case timing and distance was wrong, among other minor points.

Always do the unexpected....surprising someone will give you the advantage? ....do you agree? ......

practice your jump kicks? work for perfection....one day it may save your life! ........Aloha

Yeah, it looked to me like the whole thing was an act. Could just be the poor quality of the video, but it certainly didn't look genuine.

Can't say if this video is a fake or not, but I saw almost the same outcome back in 81 up in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. Friend of mine who was rather, shall we say, "rough around the edges" got into it with a mouthy MA (brown belt if memory serves, not that it really matters) who opened with a flying kick. Just about 2 seconds later the MA was out cold on his back and my friend just turned around and made the statement "Kick high, you die. NEVER start with that stuff." Always stuck with me, and after really starting training, I can see the wisdom of that statement. You never really know what the other guy is capable of, so open with something where if equally matched, or out-matched, you don't leave yourself commited right off the bat with zero way of checking, and changing. Don't think I worded that right, but hopefully you get the meaning. Changing in mid-stream can be very benificial at times.

I gotta say, I think it's just you. I replayed it a few times to check and there's no getting around it. He punted his head like a football. The boy was out!
I also agree that the ground probably caused a good bit of damage also. It wouldn't surprise me if he broke his arm.
