Well, I sat down and started trying to sketch out how the Burn Down Kick should look before I decided on a viewing angle for the final pic.
Problem is, it's so complicated a motion (in the sense of having a number of different things going on in different directions at exactly the same time) that I think I'm either going to need several days working on just this stage or a little doll to pose to get it right.
It's fairly simple to describe, though - start with a foot sweep then bring that leg and around and up behind and back -over- and down to arrive -right- as gravity introduces your victim to the ground -anyway-. But there's both arms to think about, too, and the entire body rotates along with the leg and what's the -other- leg doing this whole time, anyway? Presumably at least one arm is bracing against the ground and the 'off' leg is somewhere close to the axis of rotation, but...
*sighs, then glares at his paper* Bleh.
Ja, -n

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
