In this self defence video, we demonstrate some of the best kicking options for practical, real world self defence that are simple to use and effective against their target. We focus on kicks targeting the low, middle and high targets of an attackers body, demonstrating how to perform the kick and where to target. We also explain why kicking the groin isn't ALWAYS the optimal choice!

great job, I learn a lot from this

Cheers👍🏻 glad you found it useful mate

Really useful information here, yeah the steel toed shoes can be nasty and even just driving the edge of the shoe into and raking down the shins. The low line kicks are definitely way more efficient than any head kicks, those are just for competitions really. If he goes to throw a roundhouse kick can you use that check to block it? I know kick-boxers use their shins to block with, but I’m not convinced it doesn’t damage them or you need well conditioned shins to do that.

Thank you my friend👊 yes absolutely. That kick to the top of the thigh is a great option for checking an attempted roundhouse👍

[@themadrazorback2019]

Excellent content and presentation. Kudos to the Uke for taking abuse. The idea of chest kick as defence against a high attack is great. Thanks! Liked and subed!

Fantastic demo! How likely is it for an opponent to catch your chest kick? Do you use this kick primarily when they charge at you? I believe that during a charge attack, they're less focused on your legs.

[@simpleselfdefence_]

I believe so too. Sparring with someone then yes a catch and trip is more likely. But a committed attack from a charging opponent, a push kick becomes a far less risky technique to use👍

[@percyfaith11]

Most attackers are not trained fighters who are used to sparring. They're not going to be looking for a teep, they're going to be trying to overwhelm you.

[@jamesdean1148]

dont forget the sweep

[@simpleselfdefence_]

Yes! Slightly more advanced technique but very effective👊 thanks

[@SuperMaryu767]

The oblique kick isn’t that strong since the way the body is designed you can’t exert much force since the waist does cancel out some power and you have to get closer to kick. Compared to a side kick which you can kick from a further distance and more natural for the body to put more force into the kick.

[@raullm6820]

Maybe, but side kicks need some good level of training, they don't work naturally plus they could be slower and easier for the leg to get grabbed. But, to be fair I like them, and a video about them will be done eventually. Thanks for the comment!

[@SuperMaryu767]

@@raullm6820 If your kicking on the knee, it’s just as big of a chance it might be grabbed when doing the oblique kick plus having more distance especially if the guy is bigger. Side kicks are one of the most natural kicks, less telegraphic and can be done in a regular standing position with a pivot for increased force instead of using the rear leg then you have to be closer.

[@raullm6820]

@@SuperMaryu767 I like the side kicks, but a lot of people specially from certain (middle) age on, aren't just capable to pivot and keep the balance, let alone to do it effectively, in range and with power, accuracy, etc. But as I said, I still like them and they are also a valid option for people with some degree of flexibility, coordination, practice, etc

[@raullm6820]

@@SuperMaryu767 I side kick to the knees, groin or shin yes, I do like the. And I consider most people can execute them effectively

YOU CAN TELL IT REALLY HURTS HIM !

[@simpleselfdefence_]

Oh yes😂🙌

[@NoName-rp6ww]

In real life, an untrained person should not strike with the fists; better with the palms.

[@raullm6820]

Check palm strike video indeed please 😊
