Kosokun said:My guess, since I didn't know Itosu personally, (Gene might, as he's that old. :-D ) is the intended target is different. With a kick int he manner that I described, the target is quite flexible. That is, one can kick inside the knee, the knee itself, the groin, the inside of the leg, whichever presents itself. A low side kick is largely limited to the inside or outside aspects of the knee.

That makes alot of sense. I'll have to play around with that. One other thing I like about the side kick in Pyung Ahn Sa Dan, however, is the sickle action of the foot. One can hook and pull on the retraction.
