With the rules changed to three points being awarded to head kicks, there is certainly seems to more high kicking actions at the tournament. In the past, players are more hesitated to do head kicks but now because of the three point system, they probably think it is more worthwhile to take the risk to perform the technique.
At the recent Inter tertiary games, there are more backhooks to be spotted and some are pretty alright and they managed to get their opponents. In fact, there are a handful who did jumping backhooks. Slamming kicks are also used more frequently than usual. Still despite all these high kicking actions, the basic front or turning or some called it the roundhouse kicks are the most prevalent ones. Though they are single points, they are the more direct kicks.
It is important to note however, no matter how attractive those points are, it is still probably better to do kicks that the players are more confident of and to gain some solid points from the usual basic kicks. By doing high jumping kicks, players risked being more exposed and more energy is wasted if they can missing their target. A solid kick regardless whether it is a jumping backhook or turning kick, it is sometimes adequate to make your opponent retreat and be more hesitative, that is where probably you can start to do more fanciful kicks if the players but still, being cautious at all times is important since a single kick can make one lose the game despite leading many points.
