Crescent kicks are hard to block because of perspective. He does a lot of perspective training in his fights that I love. However, that's a really hard kick in general to pull off and only works on similar or smaller sized opponents. The idea of a kick is, you get more power so hopefully a well placed one could even take someone out larger. If you don't know what you're doing, you'll get KO'd from the counterstrike easily. If you're going do that, you might as well go all in with the spinning double crescent kick, at least it would be harder to stop because it's your full body weight.

But then again I ain't did martial arts in 20 years so wtf do I know.

As a practitioner of martial arts with a black belt in Tang Soo Do and Brown Belt in TKD (obviously Michael and Snipes are elite) that is an extremely dangerous kick to attempt IRL unless someone is shorter or you're mad flexible.

MJW, Snipes, Van Damme or Adkins obviously can do this in their sleep. They're elite.

Wearing jeans etc is going to be a daunting task. Aim for the shin, leg or liver kick is more practical
