PERFECT HOOK-KICK

And notice his base foot off the ground, he had to adjust in transit to land it.

How does he adjust in transit if he isn't looking at his target?? This is one of the things that really bothers me about Tae Kwon Do, they perform these blind kicks literally hoping that the opponent is still there and praying that it lands. This particular technique was only effective because his opponent was launching a blind shot of his own. It's a wonder they found each other. He's looking at the ground and his opponent is looking in space. What advantage does one gain by not looking at his target? Even while executing a spinning kick you should turn and look so you can abort the kick if your opponent has moved or side stepped or even went downstairs for a sweep or groin shot. Of course the Tae Kwon Do rules prohibit anything that could be considered effective counter-measures. Sorry about the rant but I just don't understand Tae Kwon Do and I think they ruin many fighters with good potential by teaching this stuff.

And there's nothing like a homogenized, pseudo-'fighting' group to allow for this sort of perfection, huh? Enter that dancing pansy in Pride...bet he wouldn't look so pretty after he tried to do that fairy dance step to Sakuraba.

You should be posting links to photos like that at rec.Korean-Ballet-Troupe-Hurrah!!

Libby, good to have you back. I don't know where you've been, troll summer camp or something, but the trolls that showed up to take your place were just lame. Next summer, find better replacements, wouldja?
