Shin Kick

Shin kick is a very powerful and effective combat move. Everybody on the planet have already experienced that monstrous pain when hit in the shin bone during a football match or doing anything else.

I remember when I was first practicing with “bo” (Japanese term for a pole) and smashed the top of it right in to my shin bone when trying to rotate it. The pain was horrible!

And pain is what this combat move is basically about. Shin kick is based on hitting a place on your leg where the bone is very accessible so you can smash it and torture the one being hit. Even a small blow can cause unbearable pain.

As I have used the shin kick quite a few times, I must say that people are really unaware to this kind of combat move. When you raise your leg, they presume you want to kick them in a head or what, but they never think about kicking shin.

The best part is that you don’t need much space to perform the shin kick because the shin is low located and that means easily accessible. It’s fast and very effective.

If you would find a good leverage to your hit and perform really nice shin kick, the person is undoubtedly going to fall down so you can kick him a little more or run away.

One teacher of mine once told me you can even KO someone using a shin kick, but I have never really KO’d anyone with this kind of combat move though I love to use it.

The magic around the shin kick is that your opponent can be the meanest steroid machine in the world, but when you kick him in his shin bone, he would cry like a little bitch!

This combat move rocks and I highly recommend practicing it from all types of stands and angles with just a bare foot. An ordinary steel pipe can replace the shin bone.
Once you gain some habit in breaking pipes with just a bare foot, you are pretty much ready to smack some bucks down with your shin kick.

Just to give you some tips, I like to add shin kick combat move in my “combos”. When for exmple you throw a punch and you happen to miss, the focus of your opponent is on the hand and on height level where the punch was aimed at. When you continue with a shin kick you can pretty much do some real magic damage. Or even execute this combat move simoultaneously with the punch.

He will not see you performing a shin kick, but he will surely feel it. May be more than he would like to.

Shin kick is really a beautiful combat move that can deliver a nice amount of pain and can, if not end the fight, make the fight much easier.

Kick in the Nuts

Kick in the nuts is very well known and pretty damn strong and effective close combat move.
And when it hits the right spot – “BAM!” The fight is over and you go home. Your assailant will probably lay a little while to catch the second breath..

What is it? It’s rounded and when you kick it hard, even a big muscle man falls on the ground.

According to me kick in the nuts is one of the best techniques for defense against rape attacks. It neutralizes the attacker and even if one hit would not be enough (damn I can’t imagine a guy who can stand that) he will definitely think twice before using his one-eyed snake because the act it self would be quite painful – because “it” got smacked and the pain will remain there for a while.

Some people asked me, that even though kick in the nuts is very much effective, they fear that the assailant will manage to catch the kicking leg. What should I do then? We have all seen the ninja movies where ninjas jump in the air with their leg caught and perform spin kick or a backward flip to escape the grip.

Yeah that might be useful defense move but which one of you is really able to do such crazy thing? You know I highly do not recommend even trying that.

First you have to understand how the kick is done. You might think that it is just a kick in the nuts. It is self explanatory, what more can I add?

Well in reality, the kick in the nuts when done slowly and not with the proper strength, can do more damage to the one kicking than to the one “blocking” it. You have to perform the kick in an uncatchable way, yet with great strength and speed.

What you need to do, is to put as much of your body weight as possible. That way the villain will not only deal with the strength of your leg, but also with the weight and moving momentum force of your body. This way you will make the kicking leg a little bulldozer nuts crusher.

Your assailant is now not just catching your kicking leg, but he is also catching the weight of your body. So it makes your leg merely uncatchable. And your kick pretty devastating.
Of course if you face some mean muscle mountain no nuts at all steroid guy, who may have some chances to catch your kick, but there is no way he can shoot your leg in the air. Why? Because if you used your body weight properly, your body should be very close to the villain’s body so you can catch his clothes, or continue with other different strikes. The kick you performed should have a big moving strength and even though someone manages to catch that kick, your leg will slip through his hands and the grip is not on your ankle, where the is the best place for moving the leg, but on a knee, while your kicking leg is bent. That makes the leg pretty much harder to throw.
Kick in the nuts is always just a starter. Some nice aimed elbows in his neck or thrusting your thumbs in his eye holes should do nice damage. You can even catch the attackers head, put your thumbs in his eyes and kick in the nuts as many times you want. Just kick, kick, kick… (in fact when being close to the assailant you rather knee him in his nuts but I think you understand me when I use “kick”:)
Even if you messed it all up and your leg is being caught bad, don’t give the attacker any time to react. Now you are close and his hands are busy holding your leg.. time to beat some meat!

Remember that the hit in the nuts doesn’t always have be a kick. Kicking nuts is fun, but what if his legs are close to each other so your foot won’t come in? Or you are simply not in the position to throw a kick that way?

You can always punch him there or for more efficiency, grab the balls, squeeze them and tear them off the body. That would cause a massive amount of pain. Very nice technique to apply when in a head-lock. When your hands are in the reach of opponents balls, just grab them and keep them as a souvenir. You can then wear the nuts as a necklace.

Remember that kick in the nuts or any strike on groin is a finishing move. Once you hit it hard, you win.

Stay in touch fighter, there are more combat moves to come.
