I'd stand by the answer "only in a cinematic campaign". If you have trouble convincing the player tell them that if they can show you a martial arts manual or a real world account (not a movie, since cinema is by it's nature cinematic) that shows people doing this then you'll let them do it in future but for the time being the answer is no. I ussally find challenging a player to proove their claims stops a good degree of sillyness.
