3.8 Knee Stamp

Probably the most important self-defence strike to learn (my oppenuen)

Where this strick hits

1. The front knee stamp

2. The side knee stamp

3. The rear knee stamp

What to hit with:

• The heel of your foot, as if you're stepping on something.

How to do it:

1. Bring your back leg (your striking leg) up, lifting the knee as high as you can

2. Stamp down throw the leg

3. Return the kick

4. Repeat 

Pros:

• It's a relatively simple strike to do for a less trained person

• Most people don't expect kicks to the leg

• It can act as a warning to the assailant

• If landed, their person will not be able to chase you, regardless of their pain tolerance or how many drugs their on

• It can be used from a range of angles

• It can be used from a range of distance

Cons:

• If the strike was effective, they may never fully recover

• Don't work straight on to a bent leg (however, all legs have to bend and straighten at some point)
