Groin Kick

Depending on the position of your aggressor’s stance, you may need to move before making the groin kick, as their leg position may prevent you from reaching your target.

Although extremely simple and effective, groin kicks can be relatively difficult to pull off in real life situations. This isn’t because the kick is performed badly, but because people have a natural tendency to pull the hips back, and drop their hands to protect themselves when there is movement towards the groin. The groin is a relatively small and well-protected target.

Although groin strikes can be difficult to pull off, the effects of a good groin kick can be devastating—whether it is the in-step of the foot or the shin that connects. Even if a connection is light—or possibly nonexistent—a person will pull their hips back in response, setting them up for other attacks, and putting them in a disadvantageous position.

If the person is standing square to you, simply pull back the hand that made the eye-strike (using the body/pull of the hip), and push the other hip forward, while raising the knee by pushing off from the toes of the rear foot. Then rapidly extend the foot—and shin—upwards into your attacker’s groin. This is not a flick, it is a powerful kick, delivered with full force. You should lean back slightly as you make the kick, so your body and leg make a see-sawing movement over the hip.
