Those variants are helpful ^.^ I got some great Ideas from them. The lashed version of that sort of kick looks sexy.

edit: no.3 looks like it could work pretty damn well in mp.. is it ok if I play around with it a bit online ?

It's true.. It's a stiff move - I was going for a bit more hold than usual, to get that smooth swing, but tbh, as I was trying it out, it didn't work too well against stationary opponents, and didn't DM often, either.

It's interesting that you mention relaxing knees and elbows, (which I usually force deliberately) .. I'll have to play around with that.

And the idea of relaxing all and starting over when in doubt is something I should do more.. I'm in the middle of redeveloping my style, which used to be a bit too limp and chaotic, to something more manageable... I really got what you meant when you said "stay low" in wushu school - I've won matches just from being below the range of their opener, and popping up under them..

Anyway, here are some replays of this one in action - In the first two, It works as a stiff move, I think, staying superlow in the first, and making the chase easier in the second. Maybe in the last one, a more powerful, limp move may be the right way to go. What do you think ?

btw, thanks for the school - It got me playing the mod again, which led to a nice bit of streaking and confidence building
