Many of the instructors in my test groups had the same thing to say.“Paul, we trust you, but doesn’t mastery of kicks should take years of hard work, sweat and dedication?” No, it should not. Kicking is a gross motor skill, and just like other gross motor skill should not take years for adults to learn. Not if you are training with a program specialized and developed for these skills anyway, and that program being the ESKMS.
I might add that even the instructors that have been kicking for 10, 20, 30 years, have all reported the improvement in the areas that they have been struggling with for years after training with the ElasticSteel Kick Mastery System.
So, if you want to know what training in ESKMS is all about, here is short look in.
Each Level’s routine takes 50 minutes to an hour. The routine has many steps or internal levels. A beginner and an advanced student can train side by side in the same class, each training at their own levels. This solves a problem for the instructor who doesn’t have time to run many different classes for each individual ability of each student.
The classes contain various exercises, designed to reinforce one another and quickly progress the student. According to my knowledge this is the most researched and tested martial arts skill oriented system in the world. It’s not a new style of martial arts; it’s not a style period. It’s a system designed to have you become a kick master in record short time.
It can be used by any martial arts stylist who employs basic kicks.
Now, I am going to share something I probably shouldn’t.

Martial arts school teaching is a business, you can pretend otherwise, but it is. Some do poorly; others are comfortable, while others become wealthy doing it. So it’s not surprising that the same question came up too often to count. “Paul, I love it, it helped me, thank you very much, but I have reservations about teaching it.”
After 2-3 people gave me a similar intro, I knew the question that was about to come up.
This is the question many instructors have asked. “I love your method, but if my students master the kicks so fast, there is a chance that they would leave the school quickly and I am looking for long term retention.”
My response is always swift and if you are asking yourself the same question right know, hear this.
Injury and frustration with an inability to master a skill, is the primary reason someone quits physical activity, including martial arts. You stand a much better chance retaining that student if he is mastering the skills and doing that safely, than he pulling a muscle, getting lower back or simple struggles with a skill to the point of giving up. I have done enough research on psychology of athletics.
And just like in tennis, volleyball, baseball, or any other activity the better your skills are, the more you want to play. Mastering the skills is just a step to beginning to play the game. If you can’t serve, bump or throw—you can’t enjoy the game. If you can’t kick, you can’t fully enjoy the training, competing, demonstrating, etc.
