Will drop by your blog later to check out the next three parts to your series!! Thanks for leaving a comment! Hi Wim,

How's it been going training the leg kick? Is it working for you? Wim Hey Sean,

Just wanted to let you know that parts three through five of the guide are up now.

How’s it been going training the leg kick? Is it working for you?

Also, as you probably have read, I think foot kicking barefoot is silly. With shoes on it's a whole different game though. This is a really interesting topic because it presents a 'natural' *advantage* you have as a result of your prosthesis. I think if I were you I'd be kicking with it all the time. I don't really know how it works parts-wise, but my first worry would be - take care to not let the foot piece whip out of place during one.
