Good point JP but there are 2 schools of thought here.
One believes in overdoing things for practice while the other says you fight like you train so do everything exactly how you would use it.
I see values in both so I'm a bit undecided. I think I lean towards overdoing things. If you're going to fight 2 min rounds practice doing 3+ min rounds.
So for groin kicks should you practice them in your form at groin level or kick 2 feet higher?
In the case of the higher kick a groin shot might not be apparent when watching. That might lead some to believe the player doesn't know what he's doing.
While that could be true it's not a given.
If you practice kicking higher does that mean it won't work?
