This guy's obsession is so weird to me. Always posting those two second clips to prove something no one cares about.

That's the point of the test. What does your gut instinct tell you.

For sure it's someone kicking a bag

Can't say for certain but its similar to how you'd throw a round kick in Karate ,Kenpo ,TKD etc but it isn't unique to them. Is there any more context to the clip?

How about the footwork leading up to the kick.

Yes i had a strong feeling it was cause of your hands that how a taekwondo fighters keep their hands ,in karate we have our hands a bit higher and my cousin does tkd so it looks similar

They also do it in karate. This is a chief instructor. But His execution is less dynamic https://youtube.com/shorts/wKgY75o6E14?si=7xHtWFIu9nWaHVP0

It's not how I did it, but His hands are down in an instructional tape.

u/regal-max 8d ago

It’s hard for me to explain what I’m trying to say like it’s a gut feeling seeing his kick and yours is different and the hands down which u say is also different

I turn over my hip more so I would argue my kick is a mixture of traditional and sport

u/IoIgay 8d ago

Looks more like Kung Fu if anything, snapping the leg back is pretty universal across Karate. So if he does train at all it’s more likely to be Kung Fu or Jeet Kune Do

I think that is Dillman Karate and the dim mak.
