Funny savate training method

I'll make this brief: I tried using the Wing Chun dummy as a means of training the savate Fouette (round kick) Since the two high wooden arms are representative of the human arm, landing a kick in between them is an excellent way of training a toe shot to the solar plexis. However.....

there is a third arm made out of solid oak underneath it. It you slip....guess what...? Your shin hits that wooden arm. And yes, IT REALLY HURTS...as I learned the hard way!
