Flying kicks are cute but only effective 1) for show, 2) if you are fighting someone who is not very skilled or has a flaw in their defensive skills, 3) fighting someone who is already tired or dazed and you KNOW you have them beaten.

Seeing as how I am about 6 foot very doubtful and if you are under 6' 6" I could reach. If you're taller than that I have more worries than being able to kick you in the face standing upright. Lol

I can and often do "reach" 6'4", more with flying kicks.  How tall is not what will give you advantage/disadvantage, but in how quickly the leg will move.  If you can't move so fast it is invisible, you won't ever get there against an experienced fighter.  But it is always fun to watch.

I'll hide across the parking lot with my rifle. I don't really care to get hit much anymore. A 9" cast iron skillet to the forehead will do that to a guy.

BD, I'm 6'6" and 280lb.  Never been in a scrap.  My friends wedding last summer I was the shortest, smallest guy in the wedding party and there was 5 of us.  Finding tuxes was interesting.

No, one is the assistant DA for a county in IA, the guy getting married is a banker, two were farmers and then me.  None of us ever played football.  Did dabble in rugby for a while.   The other four played for 6-7 years, I only played of half a season, moved away.

Now you know why I was never in a scrap.  We did alot of things together, hunting, fishing, booz'n, so when ever we walked in, there was ussually 2-3 of us.  We are all just a bunch of lovable fuzz balls.
