You can kick to the joints. But its not effective. Those are what we call "movie kicks".They look painful,but the chances of hitting your target are slim. Otherwise,everyone would do 'em.

I would love to fight in Japan either for Shooto or Pride. But those guys are on a different level. I'd have to train hard for about a year to even come close to their level. Im going to start training again next month. My goal is to get to King of the Cage first. We'll see how it goes after.
