Mike, I’ve suffered PF for years. I do all the recommended stretches, strengthening exercises, rolling, ice bottle rolling… all of it. I ended up finding insoles from Protalus. They freaking work! I wear them in all of my shoes, even chucks. First thing I do with any pair of shoes is rip out the insole and replace with Protalus. Check em out.

For testing them out, you should try pressure testing it against each other or try it the old fashion way: hitting stuff with them and analyze it.

I think the primary purpose of the Kuba-Kickz is for shin kicks. You really need to hit just one, and you'll be able to just walk away. Also, you used to be able to order them with metal spikes embedded in the tips. I'm thinking that would really open someone up.

@XD-cf6gr 3 года назад

Having gotten my hands on and tested the kikz a while back I found a way of modding it to be much more useable. Get a piece of thick leather, cut out a tongue (bigger back plate) that fits inside your shoe and mount it to that. It becomes more stable on contact and the backlash becomes negligible.

@Pharto_Stinkus 3 года назад

So, first thing I was thinking at the start of the video was "That Kuba-kick looks like it might be legit..." That palm thing makes me think of those old school "tiger claw" ninja things that were always advertised in the martial arts magazines back in the day.

@midnightmosesuk 2 года назад

Well, I bought a pair of those Kuba-Kicks myself, before I saw your video. I put them on a pair of black DM boots (kicks are black as well) and, with a pair of jeans, they're fairly difficult, if not impossible, to spot. Also laced them into my boots, I use paracord for my laces, so they're very firmly on my boots. I've tried kicking some "stuff", like you did, and they didn't hurt my feet. I think if they're laced in properly it spreads the impact a bit. I bought these because I'm not a fighter so, if I'm in a bad situation, I want any edge I can get. If I can make a kick hurt more, or rake my foot down the leg of someone who's grabbing me, then it's all good.

Planar fasciitis: I keep a golf ball in the freezer. If you have one in the break room, keep one there at work too. (IDK if you have a break room.)

The kicking thing is cool. I do recommend you take vitamins i.e., Tangy Tangerine - from Amazon and extra calcium for the planter thing - I had it for years taking shots and wearing orthodics until I heard from Dr Wallach presentation about supplements. He says the body needs calcium and takes it from bones and liguments and things. Also my calcium levels were high and when I started taking 2X the recommend dose and went back to the VA my calcium levels dropped to borderline low. However the pain went away competely after a couple weeks. I get calcium from costco...I'm an old guy 68, and love your videos... Cheers, Happy New Year from New Hampshire fan

Plantar fasciitis / fasciosis - caused by shoes that undermine your foot's natural physiology / structure / function. Look into barefoot / minimalist shoes - zero drop, no arch, flexible sole, no toe spring, wide toe box to accommodate toe splay. The combo of a raised heel + raised arch + toe spring is what causes fasciitis / fasciosis.

I seen griffin grip type of concept on a ring. The ring has spiky bits on the bottom and surprisingly doesn't get in the way much, so you can wear them around like a normal ring. Personally I feel like I can hit harder than these gimmick tools so I don't bother, but it was pretty cool concept.
