Shiomitsu Sensei was known for his powerful kicking technique that seemed to materialize just an instant before impact. His front mawashi geri in particular was especially dangerous as, rather than following a wide, sweeping, and easy to avoid or block arc, his kicking foot would start at knee level then viciously arc upwards with amazing speed to hit his opponent in the lower abdomen or chest. You just knew he was going to do it, but nobody seemed to be able to stop it!  

Dynamic Kicking Method is not simply a technical guide, but an approach to kicking that includes mental state, physical preparation, development of technique and successful application.
