About kicking in street combat ,end a fight with KRAV MAGA in just 3 seconds.
"With kicks, don't posture; just learn to
kick from a simple stance or walking position.
Launching your impact techniques from complex
stances slows them down and
telegraphs them.
If all you do to your training is to add this
one principle, then you will improve your
combat efficiency GREATLY.
What was often known as 'chambering'
(cocking the kicking leg) is a great give away
for your opponent, and if he sees the chamber
leg positioned for a kick, then he can counter
it much more easily. By training to launch your
kicks from much more natural postures, you reduce
that advantage to your attacker.
Secondly with kicks...LOW, LONG & POWERFUL...
That is the best way of utilising legs in combat.
If you kick higher than parallel, you slow down
the kick, reduce recovery time, and weaken your
balance. The low stomach is the highest you
should be aiming your kicks at. Best keep them
to legs and low stomach/groin areas.
The HIGHEST you should ever kick is the height
you can SLOWLY lift your leg, NOT swing it.
OK you can swing the leg hard and get head height...
But there is no power in SWING. Now try and LIFT
the leg slowly, and now let's say the leg reaches
low chest area.. That's now the highest that leg
should reach in a kick.
Also most martial artists want to kick from TOO
FAR AWAY... With Krav maga you Get closer and kick with the shin bone
for roundhouse kicks NOT the foot. It's a lot easier
to break or damage a toe than it is the Tibia/Fibula
Shin area."
