point on your opponent. Sure, for the most part, hitting your opponent

In a self-defense situation, the striking implement would most generally
be defined as that portion of your shoe or leg that is used to make
contact with a vital or vulnerable area on your opponent. Always

Does
Kicking Work In Combat? Jeremiah Johnson Certainly Thought So and
So Did His Enemies!
Perhaps one of the most influential yet little known historical
facts about the utilization of the act of kicking in a genuine life
and death situation comes to us not from the Far East, as one might
expect, but from the Great Northwest Territories of the United States
