Nov 23, 2008 - Why does sean keep his knee bent during the kicks, wouldn't that take power away from the kick?

martialskill Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - Wes broaches this around 6:10. The truth is that the pad is stopping the kick before it's fully extended, but you don't want a kick to land too early or too late. There's a "power band" in all kicks where you'll get the most power from them. A leg kick can land with the knee having some bend and still have plenty of power. If you kick so your leg is completely straightening at impact, it won't be as powerful and you might easily hyperextend your knee. You should bury your shin on these kicks.
