Striking / Distancing

Low Calf Kick

  1. 01

    Stand at maximum striking range, outside the opponent's primary punching zone.

  2. 02

    Step the lead foot slightly off-angle to open hip mobility.

  3. 03

    Whip the lower portion of the rear shin horizontally outward, targeting the upper gastrocnemius/peroneal nerve located just below the opponent's knee.

  4. 04

    Maintain a tight defensive guard with the lead arm extended forward as a hand-frame/distraction.

  5. 05

    Retract the leg rapidly along its path to prevent the opponent from catching the kick and attempting a single-leg takedown.
