The Ball of the Foot

Another way of making the foot into a weapon is to pull the entire foot and toes up as high as they will go. This allows me to strike with the ball of the foot (as I show in my video).  Just remember to keep the foot firm in this position while kicking.

Whether I am wearing shoes or using bare feet, the foot must be held firm and the kicker must be used to the impact a foot makes when striking with the ball of the foot.

There is less danger of getting the foot damaged (or the leg getting grabbed) when kicking with the ball of the foot but it can happen so care should be exercised when using it.

The Front Snap kick can also be used to drive the ball of the foot into the groin. It, too, is a light feely move that can cause serious damage but it be easily defended against too. Again, it is not the panacea that cures all ills, rather it is another tool in a fighters ‘tool box’.
