*Warning! These are nasty and deceptively easy-to-practice kicks but they can be hard to use. They are are all done close in and a quick opponent could deal a telling counter.
Rising Knee

This is a simple enough Self-Defense strike. I start in a Forward Bow at punching range. From there, I lift my rear leg forward driving the top of the thigh into my attacker’s groin.
Oblique Kick

Also known as a ‘Chasse’ in French Savate, this kick looks like nothing. In this case looks are deceiving. If I land it, the risk of serious injury to my attacker is real and great. If I miss, then I could be in trouble.
Foot Sweep

Again, a simple kick that works well when it lands but it must be timed perfectly to trip the attacker’s moving foot. Against a stationary leg, this sweep could land me in trouble.
Without prejudice
