Yes, but his opponent will still be like a statue to him. Can he kick at super speed? If he can, I don't see why there is a big issue with his moving his legs for other purposes.
As for the past and travel speed vs reaction, this for me more has always been..if you can fly in space at FTL speeds it doesn't mean you can blitz. But Val is actually reacting to hits and moving his body out of the way. That is why Thor can fly in space at FTL speeds, but he doesn't have actual feats and moving out of the way of things traveling at massive FTL speeds in the way Val does.
