Street Fighting Move – Surprise First-Strike Shin-Kick To The Groin by Neil Neazer

by admin on Jul.19, 2009, under First Strike Maneuvers

Neil Neazer demonstrates the close-range surprise first-strike front shin-kick to the groin.

A front kick involving the shin is an awesome closed quarters combat (strike) kick because it is non-telegraphic. It is easily throw forward by way of just raising the knee then extending the rest of the leg. The top part of the shin which is the hardest plays the impact part disabling the attacker. It is quick and easy to use, to surprise-kick and get out of there.

Good work, Neil. I thought I was the only one teaching that!

I always tell my guys to try to land the top of the foot on the buttocks, which means that the shin will make contact with the “target area” on the groin, too.

My reasoning is, should I try to kick someone in the groin with my foot and he moves back, I will miss. However, should I target his buttocks with my foot and land my shin in the groin and he moves back suddenly, I would still hit his groin with my foot. Likewise, if he moves forward, I will still make contact higher up on my shin or with my knee.

It is always interesting to see how instructors who have been there and done that tend to teach similar techniques.

Sounds good. But can this be used on anyone, any size? and is it damaging or is it just used to impair the opponent to then land a strike afterwards?

Hi Jack,

I’d like to answer this one for you. There a weak link in your street fighting philosophy. There is no such thing as a one-strike maneuver. Any strike that is issued must always be followed up my non-stop additional strikes. You never strike to impair and allow your aggressor to recover. The only purpose of a surprise, debilitating blow is to be able to “finish him off”. This is the reality of survival street self protection.
