Superfoot

Superfoot was back and he taught two super seminars. The first seminar covered his famous "Stretching and Kicking". This seminar taught how to improve your flexibility along with increasing power and accuracy in your kicks. The second seminar covered sparring. This all new seminar taught proper footwork and how to create an opening against a skillful fighter. We want to thank Superfoot for these two awesome day! [Photos]
