Frank Maletsky in 1975 doing a jumping side kick. Standing is his black belt student Ricky Lafrades. Picture was taken by Alvin Maletsky with his Nikon Camera. Perfecting the correct position for power in the air took long hours of training. Training involved jumping over hurdles and hitting the bags with full power. Getting the "look" was easy. Puting the power behind the kick was the hardest.
