  • Kicks are generally not great for lead techniques in a street fight. Yes, some people who train in martial arts will deploy them as if they are in an MMA match. If you find yourself squaring up with someone in the street as if you are in the cage, you're not smart.
    With that said, there can be times when a kick can be deployed in a threatening situation.
    A front thrust kick can be deployed effectively if someone is moving toward you, brandishing a knife.

    I am glad you included the disclaimer in your comments. I am 58 and have practiced a plethora of martial arts all my life since I was 12 years old. I am a professional security operative ( over 20 years ) ... A trained fighter will spot it in an instant. Most of you, telegraph a kick, you do not keep your guard but flap elbows, drop your guard or bob around or otherwise telegraph kicks all the time. A thrust kick "dwells" too long upon impact, while you may connect and cause pain you risk having your foot caught by the opponent, if he is using a blade he can easily splay your hamstring open and or kill you there and then, so do not thrust kick. A snap kick to the lower jaw ( or weapon hand ) , literally snaps out and back as fast or faster. Imagine the dynamic........ Snap kick with your rear foot to a protruding appendage land back where you started to keep space( keep your guard and knees bent so as NOT to telegraph a kick. practice this in the mirror, no bobbing of the head no flapping of the elbows ). As a general rule, do not thrust kick as a lead unless you are very, very, very fast. As a general rule do not kick in a street fight, you want to end it as fast as possible and bug out immediately. IF you are great at kicks and feel the need to kick, then snap kick instead and walk away. He will be down and probably out. Also remember kicks are much harder to justify to a Judge and jury......any of you whom have trained in MA for a few years can easily kill with a snap kick to the head. Be careful or live with the consequences.
    Respect and honour. Love always first, violence as a last resort.

      Agreed. Which is why I qualified that it will only be useful in a situation as I described. In general, someone coming toward you with a knife is probably not a trained fighter, just a criminal. I also don't recommend trying to throw kicks high in a street altercation, as I also suggested in the video.

      @@PracticalKungFuYou are practiced so I will speak to all here as if in " senior class" If one is not well practiced with kicks. Please avoid using them outside of training. They are slow and as discussed previously, they are easily telegraphed. I get you want to push him away. BUT with a knife wielder you want to close the distance and end it asap. Maybe use his momentum and get him face down behind you so as to open up an escape path. Avoid going toe to toe with someone with a blade, with your front thrust kick you are committed to a frontal assault landing forwards of your starting point, with little room for error all while he is coming forwards with no chance of reversing your motion.... You will bleed. Always go into a knife fight in cold blood and expecting to come out bleeding.

      Spot on sir. I was trained by my first Sensei to never kick above the groin. Mostly snap kicks to legs.

    There is no structure in your kick. You should be able to shift weight, deliver and recover, not plop down after delivering the kick, which leaves you unbalanced and unable to deliver another technique
