    How long did it take to be able to do a really basic high kick, and then to do it really effectively? I bet it took a lot longer than to learn to punch someone really hard in the head.

    Any style is effective after training, even Queensbury rules boxing, it's just that in some styles are quicker to get good at.
    It's hot in Topeka.

    The fighting is real, but the knockouts are fake.

    Keep watching it through the first minute to see it in action.
    Do you remember those little guys swinging on ropes kicking the Rocks ass in The Rundown ?

    High kick? I can jump up and kick someone in the head if that counts... I still think it's harder to punch someone really had in the head, unless you get a sucker punch and knock the lights out of them.

    Still, the Engerland fighting system looks the most lethal so far.

    You obviously punch like a girl then

    If you tried to jump and kick someone in the head in an actual fight, people would just laugh at you for being such a tit.

    I can kick most people in the head without jumping, anyway

    I can kick people in the head with out jumping too, and I am horrably unflexable. probably the most effective kick though is a sidekick into the midsection of an opponent that is trying to punch you. unless you'er a midget, you can kick them before they are in range to punch you.
    Plan for the worst, hope for the best
