Hand to Foot

This category of ABC involves following a hand strike with a kick. It generally requires you to move from a strike aimed at the upper body to a strike intended for the lower body of your opponent. Also, because the hands have a shorter reach then the legs, it also means a shift in distance. The following are some examples of hand to foot combinations in which each strike is intended to score. Keep in mind that the hand strike can also be a feint or false attack, followed by a kick that actually lands.

Lead Finger Jab-Lead Snap Kick: The lead finger jab is thrown while you are in, or as you enter, medium range and is aimed at your opponent’s eyes. After the finger jab lands, if your opponent steps back, he or she will likely be out of range for another hand technique. You can then follow with a lead snap kick to the groin. This combination can be quite effective because your opponent’s attention will be diverted to the eyes when you finger jab them, which opens up the groin for your kick.

Lead Straight Punch-Lead Hook Kick: From medium range you launch the lead straight punch at the face, which knocks your opponent back. If he or she steps out of range for a follow-up punch, you can fire a lead hook kick to whatever target is available, which will most likely be somewhere in the lower body.

Lead Backfist-Lead Side Kick: This time you throw the lead backfist against the face, which propels your opponent back. Assuming that your opponent steps so far back that you cannot follow with another hand technique, such as a rear cross, you can follow with a lead side kick. The kick can be directed to the midsection, the front knee, or the front thigh, depending upon which target is within range.
