The point I making is that he made absolute statements, that were made as facts,percieved or otherwise , if you dont see that I cant help that. Force and velocity are measurable and those factors could be tested. We've had a number of students from local colleges come to our gym to do research projects on very similar concepts.
I'm glad you think you have me all figured out
As far as the kicks themselves I use both situationally
When someone is pressuring straight foward I like the spinning back kick vs spinning side kick, as I'm less likely to get my chamber jammed if I misjudge the timining. I do feel I have more power with the back kick in this situation as my kick has more room to accelerate.
I prefer the spinning side kick if the are circling away from me as I can lead the target and throw the kick where they are going to be vs where they are. If they are circling and moving away, I feel the spinning side kick gives me more reach to make the adjusts necessary to stay on target.
I use both both but prefer the spinning side kick when I attack the line of withdrawl ( if the back straight up), specifically for the ability to adjust the range depending of the speed at which they withdraw, I feel I can adjust and still have power at varying stages of the kick. And for me I can cover far more ground with the spinning side kick vs the spinning back kick.
