so i promised more sports posts. life just got too busy but i am back! with a SPORTS post. Today's scissors sport post is about SCISSOR kick [strike] and deals with this super awesome move done in martial arts. Basically, from what i have read it can be ANY kick in martial arts that looks like a scissors. HM? interesting.....According to Wikipedia the scissor kick can be used to kick two opponents at one time. In san shou the scissor kick is used as an advanced mid-air takedown; one leg presses on the opponent's chest while the other leg positioned behind the opponent's knees, delivered with symmetrical force [and lots of it!] will knock the opponent down.

scissors are a very powerful tool to have such moves named after them.
