Nutcracker #4: Some Good, Some Bad...
A couple of thoughts on these:
The groin kick at the top is probably one of the best staged example of a groin kick I've seen. Even though it appears set up, all the elements are there; extension, penetrating through the target, intent. Great shot.
--Now the second, apparantly from an Army manual is on the lame side. I hope this is not how they teach sentry elimination these days. I mean,come on-- it is going to make too much noise and there is no reason to think it will take the guy out. In fact, the more I think about this one the more it sucks. I don't think it would even rate in a "Red Team-Blue Team" drill, where nobody's supposed to get killed.
There now; look how we loose the whacky and fun aspects of groin kicks when we get all serious about it...

One of my instructors is a retired SEAL. I know for a fact that this is NOT how they dispatch sentries because he taught my 7-year-old son the proper way to do that.
You know, just in case he wants to get out of school early but the safety patrol is blocking him.(LOL).
Yeah, I kinda' figured that.
But watch out; the safety patrol usually has a Flag on a big stick...

Loved the first photo though it takes a lot of skill that I still don't have
I wonder if that photo is out of a movie scene? It is very well staged, with all the people in the Cafe' watching from inside...
