Vent: I thought the knee kicker was a gimmick until a guy in Dayton showed me his trick
I always figured I could stretch everything by hand and save my knees the trouble. Last Tuesday I was fighting a Berber in a rental off Patterson Blvd and the guy helping me, Dale, grabbed his kicker and had the whole room tight in about 20 minutes. He showed me how to plant it right at the tack strip and bump it in small hops instead of one big shove. Turns out I was kicking way too hard and too far, which is why it always felt like a gimmick to me. Anybody got a trick for keeping the kicker from sliding on concrete subfloors?
