That natural instant ‘disappearing’ squat seems to be the secret to Vladimir’s spontaneous super-fast, super-precise kicks, that whack you absolutely out of nowhere:

VV: The knee is relaxed, even uninvolved. That speeds up the kicks dramatically. You come to the point of kicking without any intermediate movement.

Vladimir had badly injured his knee at one point in his youth. Since I have many friends who’ve managed to mangle their knees in advanced yoga and martial arts training, I had to ask him about that. I wondered, after having hurt his knee very seriously, how can he now do all the amazing combative work he shows in every class.

VV: I restored it with breath and relaxation exercises. It rarely hurts now. I can use it any way I need. You have to be determined that you aren’t going to live with that injury. You can view an injury as something that you should escape like a hold. A chronic injury is like having somebody grab you and hang on to you forever. So the best way to study escaping from holds is escaping from your injuries. That’s actually the very first practice. Later, you can practice how to work against grabs, chokes, and so on.

A big question with injury is how deeply do you allow it to penetrate into yourself psychologically. And how long you let it keep its hold on you. But the first question is always ‘Why did it happen’. You have to figure out the reason behind any injury.
