In movies, why do they start a shot with the person's feet?

I guess they are using it as a kind of 'foot note'!!\n\nThey are showing the "sole" of the person.\n\nIt is "heeling" to the mind.\n\nOr it could just be that they have a few seconds of film to use up and can't think of anything witty to put in the script!!

It comes from the ritual involved in drinking tequila.  The ritual involves licking salt, drinking a shot of tequila and then sucking a lime wedge.  This eventually led someone to invent the "body shot" -- there you lick someone's neck, sprinkle salt on it, then lick the salt, drink a shot and then suck on a lime wedge that the other person has in his.her mouth.

The results are planned, the speeches are planned, the action is planned, bleeding is planned, everything is planned.\n\nBut that doesn't mean a chair shot doesn't sting.  And that the blood isn't real.  But it is all just athletic acting.

It is a tradition. I do believe there is a justification on a more subtle level with respect to the direct contact with the surface and the transmission of ki, but I do not feel, in the least, qualified to speak on this subject.\nThe most down to earth explanation could be the Japanese tradition of taking your shoes off before going in to a home.\nAnother could be to strengthen your feet, thicken the skin and minimize the striking area while striking with the feet.

Because they are laying where they shouldn't be...\n\n\nNo actually just kidding...if you mean stepped on like in taken advantage of it is because they allow it to happen. People by nature will use every means they can to get to what they want. And if you allow it to happen it will.

If I understood this correctly it would be a either an interferrence or a fault to the other guy. What are they doing with their tips on the table in the first place. If it isn't their turn they should of been curtious to you and stood back. Maybe out of the way too; some of those darn balls just seem to jump right out at ya!!! If you want accurate answeres you probably need to give more info. But I hope I got the answere for you.

Because the shoe is on the other foot.

I think it is because you don't have the grip on your feet like you do on the bottom of most shoes. Plus you get added protection when you drive.\n\nI had a friend in an accident I assure you if she had been driving sans shoes, she would be an amputee today. Her boots protected her ankles even though she broke it, imagine what would have happened without shoes.

Here's a possible explanation of why it may be possible that B started after A when being placed forward. Races usually begin by a person shooting a gun in the air. Since the speed of sound is finite, B would have started when he heard the gunshot which would be a couple of moments after A heard the gunshot.

For shot power, there is a tecnhique but I don't know what it is called in English. Instead of kicking the ball on the inside of the foot, you kick it on the hard, bony part toward the outside of the foot, behind the 3rd,4th and 5th toes. If you combine this with a leg motion that is more 3/4 from right to left (if you are right footed), then you should get a hard shot with very little spin. With this method however, you sacrifice accuracy for power because it is more difficult to  control the flight of the ball without spin. Hope that helps.

You're popping the air in the joints.

In what way mate? Your question doesn't really make any sense, please give us some more details. Cheers.\n\nQuick response to some of the others down below, taking a half step then banging the right foot in behind the left and shooting the left forward again is called  "change step" used to change the whole squads step or when you are out of step to quickly correct this for yourself, seen lots of regiments do a daft shuffle and that takes a couple of tries to get right. A change step is the British Army's way of correcting step.

Set up shots, and other situations that may require some skill to do.

The previous answers are correct.\n\nHowever, a player may also take measres to protect certain sensitive body parts prior to a free kick.\n\nIn youth games it is considered acceptable and is not a foul, if a player reflexively rasies his/her hands to defend himself/herself from a point-blank  shot to the face.  For the purpose of this, I tend to define "point blank" as from less than 5 yards out.

An exercise I know of works very well, and it also has a lot of names. Some people call it "foot fire" or "quick feet". It works really well in a group, where someone is standing in front of you calling out what to do next. You stand in your defense position while stepping up and down very quickly, like you are stepping on coals. You should periodically jump so you are facing to the right or left of where you were facing before. The leader person should also tell you to slap the quickly hit the ground and continue the "foot fire".

David Blaine.  My research shows people claim it is an old illusion.  Allegedly they really have one foot on the ground, but it is away from the viewer so it appears to be no contact with the ground.  Must take practice.  The link below explains it with graphics and links to buy instructional videos.
