For example, a front foot sidekick was particularly effective against opponents who hadn't faced such a technique before, but its development occurred when there was no emphasis on leg kicks. Similarly, starting martial arts training early and focusing on aerial techniques can help develop the necessary dexterity for more complex moves. The use of wheel kicks, though different from traditional techniques, can force opponents to focus and take time away from other attacks. In the UFC context, emulating the striking style of fighters like Jon Jones, who utilize a diverse range of kicks, can be beneficial for aspiring fighters.

Dedication and practice in martial arts, even in seemingly insignificant techniques like upkicks, can lead to impressive results. Henzo Grace, a bare-knuckle fighter, became famous for his upkicks, which were once dismissed as a waste of time.

Another intriguing idea is the concept of a cooperative living arrangement for martial artists, where they could grow their own food, live together, and train together, creating a self-sufficient and supportive community. Ultimately, the importance of dedication, practice, and community cannot be overstated in the pursuit of martial arts mastery.
