Combining legs and hand striking
I have read the book on stretching and also purchased and reviewing the DVD's. I am a student at Joe Corley Karate which combines many techniques such as Judo, Tai Kwan Do, Muai Thai, and others. I am curious why there is not more emphasis on combinations involving both kicking and use of the upper body (jab, punch, hammer fist, etc)? High kicks require set up and follow up. Is this covered somewhere?

Not really, the book is mainly about developing flexibility for all sports. Although there is a slight emphasis on kicking, it can't become a catch-all for all martial arts techniques.
