I need more practice with kicks. Isshinryu emphasizes close quarter fighting, with few kicks--and none higher than theshoulder. this is going to hurt me in a freestyle tournament, I just know it.

Clinch, takedown, ground and pound.

No high kicks necessary.

I find that learning "high" kicks is worthless in a real life situation.  That is why I like Krav Maga, it's all below shoulder and they teach you how to take an opponent out fast.
