The previous record was 8 feet 9 inches. While Koo Self Defense was in transition back in 1994, we used to have a demonstration team similar to traditional martial arts demonstrating amazing feats such as high jumping kicks and power breaking, we had two black belts gifted students Daxton Edwards, 14 years who jump a record of 9 feet 2 ins. and Matthew Huskey, 14 years old reached a height of 9 feet 1 inch both breaking a plastic rebreakable board. For high flying side kick, they both can achieve 8 feet 4 inches. His amazing feat was published in our local newspaper on June 24, 1994. According to the Guinness World records, the highest martial art kick stood at 8 feet 9 inches, we were not even awared that such a record existed otherwise Daxton would have entered for the event back in 1994! Both of them could also break 6 new plastic re-breakable boards with a side kick during that same time period.
