Tactical question - Front kick to head. - 02/17/11 10:57 PM
Not been on here in ages, but thought I'd get your guy oppinion on the front kick to the head. (ala anderson/segal )
So I've seen this practiced (and practiced it myself) and it seems one of those techniques where a person may hold two opposing views.
View A - It is a technique not worth the risk of using as it:
Leaves you vulnerable to a take down
Is low percentage
View B. - It is a valuable technique as:
If it lands, it's seems highly likely to stop your opponent
I was curious as to your views.
As a side, does Silvas kick add weight to View B? Or does the lack of previous KO's of this nature in MMA (to my [narrow] knowledge) add weight to View A?
