Sweet set of tabatas!!

From a practical standpoint, they are used at all heights, but the ability to throw them anywhere is a good thing. And practicing them chin height over and over just means you can throw a low kick even faster. This drill was about keeping technique under max load and building the cardiovascular efficiency up to maximum.

Nice!  Those are some high kicks.
