"Karate kicks are effective. But high kicks are not found in Okinawa - the birthplace of Karate. For example, there's not a single traditional kata that contains mawashi geri (roundhouse kick). Yet it's used constantly in modern Karate - especially kumite. High kicks are actually the top scoring sparring techniques. But the old Karate pioneers, i.e. Gichin Funakoshi, Motobu Choki, Chojun Miyagi and Mabuni Kenwa never taught such techniques. So where did these flashy kicks come from? And why did they become so popular in modern Karate? The answer might shock you... "
