Hmmm, so maybe what is supposed to happen is that, as the kick hits, the opponent’s body is violently pushed to the side, while his head basically stays in place (or tilts to the opposite side), creating the whiplash effect?
It reminds me of these slow motion shots of crash test dummys inside cars, they sometimes show in TV commercials. When the car is hit from the side, it looks as if the dummy’s head goes one way and the body another (head tilting toward the driver’s side window, body being pushed toward the passenger’s side window). Of course, here we are talking about the impact of a car, hitting at 40 miles an hour or so. But maybe the kick, if placed correctly and with enough skill and force, is supposed to create a similar effect.
