The Brits Knew How To Drop Someone



In today’s post I would like to discuss a super simple tactic that can drop anyone to the ground brutally quick. The tactic is the shin kick it is effective for several reasons.

1. It takes the brain a second to register an attack coming at the height of the waist and up. It takes double that time for the brain to respond to an attack that is coming at the level of the waist down. People have a hard time seeing a shin kick coming and when they do it’s too late.

2. Ever hit your shin on a coffee table leg? Then you know how painful a strike to the shin can be and that strike is not even hard. Imagine now the force five times that power kicking your shin in a violent encounter and what it can do. I have personally dropped guys twice my size with one or two shin kicks.

3. The Brits knew the power of shin kicks and have World Shin Kicking Games since the 1600’s. In the old days participants were allowed to have steel caps on their boots and the first person the break there leg lost. Today the sport is much more civilized. You can check out the World Shin Kicking Games on YouTube.

Regardless if you’re fighting in an elevator, phone booth or tight crowded area shin kicks can be executed in any environment with full effectiveness.

There’s no such thing as a dirty fighter only an educated one.
