Combat Kick Boxing

Groin Kick: Medium to Long Range
Situation Four: Your assailant throws
a groin kick.
1) Shuffle back and deflect the kick
with a lower parry. (Fig. 119)
2) Slam a hard roundhouse kick into
the thigh of his attacking leg using
your shin. (Fig. 120)
3) Pivot strongly and throw a left hook
to his jaw. (Fig. 121)

Because your assailant has been turned Fig 119
by the lower parry, the left hook comes
out of nowhere and the angle makes
it a devastating shot.
In fact the whole combination is
simple, fast and very strong. It is a very
good example of why kick boxing has
so much to offer in the field of self-
defence. As a general note, it is
important to curve the body behind
your shots to maximise their power.
The difference in mechanical power
between ‘arm only’ shots and those
delivered with rotational power and
body weight behind them is
considerable. Fig 120
