Back Kick, Knee to Groin and Groin Grab

The groin is one of the bodies battle fault areas -- a sensitive area to strike. In an ideal situation your attacker would be standing in front of you and you could use the standard front kick to slow him down. In preparation for a less than ideal situation.  Let’s now take a look at three pain inflicting strikes to the groin techniques.

The Back Kick

1. Lift your knee up to a horizontal position in front of you.

2. The foot and toes should be pointing up -- bent upwards.

3. At the same time, you should be looking over your shoulder at your attacker.

4. Take aim and thrust your heel into the groin, and quickly back down to the ground to keep your balance.

In all the techniques you are learning here at SDS, more is better, so give it all you’ve got.

Too close for comfort

Below are two simple techniques to use if you find that you are too close to use a front or back kick. They are called "Knee to the Groin" and "The Groin Grab." They may come in handy someday, so stop, listen and learn.

Knee to the Groin

1. This technique is almost the same as the front kick (explained in another article). Instead of connecting with the foot, lift your knee up into the attacker’s groin, hard and fast.

2. For support, and if possible, grab hold of your attacker. Grab with both hands by the upper arms or chest, and pull as your knee connects with the groin. This adds a bit more power to the maneuver.

That's just about all there is to it.

The Groin Grab

1. If your attacker is behind you and close enough, reach out behind grab his groin and squeeze hard.

2. Don’t just pinch... close all four fingers against you palm.

You need to understand that in order for this technique to be effective, you must get a hold of at least one testicle. It’s the squashing of the testicles that cause the pain.

These techniques work best when your attacker is caught off guard. Use the element of surprise, and it’s important to "time" the techniques well. Also, his legs must be at least slightly apart and stay that way until after you make your move.

Let's summarize

• The back kick: Knees up, toes pointing up, look, take aim, and heel into the groin.

• Knee to the groin: grab attacker with both hands by the upper arms or chest, pull as your knee connects.

• Reach out behind grabbing the groin, squeeze.

• Timing and surprise are important with all these techniques, and his legs must be apart.
