The Top of the Foot

Making the foot into a weapon that allows one to strike with the top of the foot is easy. Just point the foot down and point the toes down. Keep the foot firm in this position while striking.

Using it in both solo drill and free sparring is another thing. Even when wearing shoes the foot must be held firm and the kicker must be used to the impact a foot makes when striking with the top of the foot.

The danger of getting the foot damaged means that the kicker can move about less freely after the injury than before it.

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