In addition, some kicks which may appear flashy or ineffective can be quite effective contrary to appearances. Kicks such as the jump double side kick, jump double front kick appear flashy and perhaps ineffective for “reality”. However, these types of kicks can be executed by exploiting and leveraging the environment. The jump double side kick may be executed using a table or other object for balance and support. The double front kick may be executed by grabbing onto the top of a doorway against two opponents. While it is quite easy to dismiss because advanced kicks are by nature, difficult to learn and require a high degree of skill, it is also easy to effectively apply the full arsenal of kicks by keeping an open mind as to application and environment.
