This video is a photo study of the jumping roundhouse kick from Heaven Fist 10,00 Kung Fu. Some key features of this video.
- The video is composed of still frames, shot at 1/10th of a sec.
- While 12 seconds long, the real life time it took to execute the tech was 0.7 seconds.
- From launch to pad contact is 0.3 seconds. A typical criticism of big techniques is that they take too much time to execute.
- Master Mikel Steenrod is executing the kick while Mr. Jim Graham is serving as the holder.
- This execution was done as part of a back and forth exchange between the two participants. The kicks were being executed continuously.
- This photo sequence happened to catch many of the critical parts of the kick and so was used in the study.
- Please note that kicks, when done for display, are done to appeal to the eye. This kick is done to maximize the physics involved and deliver the best combative projection of power.
