I used to spar with Jim Martinez... who scoop-kicked me every time I kicked him above the waist... it got to the point where I would not throw a high kick when I fought him... you know - I liked singing alto and did not want to move up an octave. :) Hi Amanda, I totally agree about the high-kicks… I used to spar with Jim Martinez… who scoop-kicked me every time I kicked him above the waist… it got to the point where I would not throw a high kick when I fought him… you know – I liked singing alto and did not want to move up an octave.

It's far more effective to kick the thigh/knee/shin. High kicks are dangerous if you're not fast enough, you can see you behind in technicolor!! It's just more effective for self-defence, it doesn't look as cool as high kicks, but when you're defending yourself for real, who cares what it looks like?

I like the taser as part of an overall defense strategy but I don't know that I would put all of my eggs in one basket. . My choice is a layered approach like getting some self-defense/fighting training, home security (good locks, dogs), and yet non-lethal defense products as well as lethal if one lives in a high-crime area. . Good luck and thanks for commenting. . John W. Zimmer Hi Micah,
