FOOT
POSITIONS FOR KICKING
Kicking
is your most useful defense. Beyond what you need to
know for achieving the
belt degrees, you should train in
kicking techniques to build a permanent
response to attack. It
takes practice to get to the point of automatic kicking
response,
but I can not overemphasize the importance of such training
for
practical, lasting, effective self-defense knowledge.
What
is being taught here is which part of the foot is used as a
striking weapon,
not how to kick. These are the five basic
striking areas and they will be used
in a number of different
ways and in different combinations.
Although
kicking practice with a partner is most safe when
you train barefoot (as shown)
you must keep in mind that you
are more likely to use the kicks in actual
self-defence when you
are wearing shoes.
