book [ed] and busted.

so apparently there is a professional wrestler called King Booker who has a signature moved called the scissor kick. If you are interested in becoming a professional wrestler or maybe you just have a predisposition for the dramatic and like to fight you can do it too!

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.

kick kick boom.

The Olympics are happening and with the swimming events just finishing, i thought i might as well talk about the SCISSOR kick. For those of us who took swimming lessons as children you can remember that this is called the scissors kick because you move your legs in the motion of a scissor. This kick is commonly used in the side stroke. The legs make a scissor kick, in which the legs are held straight out, knees unbent, and swung back and forth in opposite directions (out of phase). The lower leg does the greater share of the work.
Just another friendly scissor reference by your enthusiast!

more sports posts soon.
