Self-Defense Techniques Against Front Kicks

This page provides details for a variety of self-defense techniques that can be used against an opponent's front kick (i.e. groin kick).

Defenses against kicks often involve evading the kick, blocking a kick and/or grabbing the kicking leg in order to off-balance the opponent, sweep the opponent's other leg or strike the held leg.
