KFP 220 is a book review of an excellent work by author Brian Kuttel. His work on Kicks and Sweeps is one of the best I have read. It is a library of over 20 kicks, with a drill down on each one. Suggestions where to start, how to train it, how to use it and what is the intention that you are going to use with it.
