February 2008 - The Winning Edge - Use Your Foot
Have you ever considered a kick as a useful tactical tool? I generally have used them for defense when I am on the ground, but not in a fight. I have practiced and used the thrust kick to open some doors also.
One kick I did not see mentioned, and I do not know if it was due to a lack of effectiveness or not, is a stomp on the instep of someone's foot. Lift the leg and thrust downward with the heel right onto the top of the instep. This is very effective when you have been forced into a grappling situation and are being held close to your opponent. DANGER: IT IS EASY TO PERMANENTLY INJURE WITH THIS KICK SO USE IT AS A LAST RESORT. And that might be why the magazine did not suggest this one, now that I think about it.
