Epic Higk Kick Fail
ByThat’s what you get when you’re too busy looking cool all the time. You forget to actually train enough so you don’t fall on your face when you do a high kick. And of course get ridiculed by your friends who then put it on the Internet for all to see…
UPDATE: It might take a while before you see the video on the page. It loads slow.

I was once teaching a group of white and green belts and wanted to illustrate energy transference. I did this by using a skip side kick on the heavy bag. It was one of those kicks you do once in a while. Everything in the power train from the support foot to the kicking foot locked out in perfect timing. The bag sprang away from my foot like it was weightless. I landed and watched in awe as it arced away and actually hit the ceiling. I was still watching in awe as it began it’s majestic backward swing. So awestruck was I that I did not realize that I was in the path of the swing. The bag took me right off my feet and set me on my ass. The lower belts tried to suppress their laughter until I said “it’s OK. Laugh. It’s funny”.
Too impressed with my own self.
Ha, I hear ya! A long time ago, I sat the students down to correct one of them on a spinning heel kick. I give this long explanation and then say “Like this.” as I perform the kick. It would have been perfect, except for the part where I fell flat on my butt. Everybody seemed to enjoy it though.
Another street fight went to the ground. Now I know where those statistics come from.
Chris: LOL! good one!
Haha, ohh man I feel for the guy.Definitely bit off a little more than he could chew. This reminds me of when that guy Constantine from American Idol tried to do the front kick at the camera and fell flat on his butt.
Matt: Just looked for it on youtube. Lol!
Yes, Sometimes being a show off .And thinking your techniques are flawless and invincible. Will backfire in your face .
