This makes my tired-induced offtopic look so much more legit and relevant.

So true.......And then I just appear out of NOWHERE

High kicks are usually disadvantageous. Feet/legs are farther from the intended target than hands/arms, therefore a kick is slower, therefore it is easier to defend against a kick. Kicks are also generally more tiring, and, frankly, if you need the extra power, you're doing it wrong. That being said and true enough, if you're throwing kicks, it may be best to aim high, as you don't want to actually hurt anyone and kicking the legs in a non-injuring way doesn't do much for your street cred.

But if you get enough height and speed, you can quickly and unexpectedly demolish someone's face.  Also, it's generally more commendable for purely kumatai purposes, to the best of my knowledge.  But in a real self-defense situation, I'd generally prefer takedown stuffs.  If you hit the nerve cluster on the center-back of your hand hard enough, it can disable your entire arm for a while.

This 2 page long conversation about balls is going to find its way into the WoM story at some point...

Just remember that I was being metaphorical.  I even mentioned it last page!!!

Also, ouuuch at Crocop's roundhouse.  *that* would be painful.

You realise this is easy, right?

Laughably so, yes. But I'll keep doing it until it stops working. If I ever had to fight a trained fighter... oh man, I don't know what I'd do :P

Usually, but not always :P

This brings me to my next point: While I believe one usually shouldn't kick for the face in the same way one usually shouldn't punch for the knee, if it is advantageous to kick someone in the face... kick someone in the face. I don't advocate not being able to kick people in the face, and I don't advocate never doing it per se. I do advocate using discretion, as face-kicking is often suboptimal.

you can quickly and unexpectedly demolish someone's face.

Another excellent point. Being unpredictable is as essential as predicting your opponent. For that, face-kicking may be a good idea.

Hung ga is a style of kung fu that specializes in being better than whatever crap Strop practices :P/jk/italickiddingfont. Check it out on wikipedia.

Wong Fei Hung is considered to be the founder of the style. Naturally, the history of Hung Ga - like anything else - is a bit more complex than that, but it's a good working definition.

Going back to writing now...

*cough* I am the one who has mastered the art of being awesome...
