High kicks for some unfathomable reason are used to symbolize any and all forms of karate. High kicks have even been adopted by those systems/styles so they can compete in karate tournaments and contests. High kicks are even taught as a main tool of self-defense. I still cannot understand why it is so but it is so.
Take a look, do a google search for karate images. I would bet that most are depicted with forms doing high kicks. Kicks so high that in most cases those same kicks would fly over the heads of an opponent, mostly.
Why do you think high kicks are such a symbolic representation of any and all empty hand martial arts?
