Your kicks do not have to be higher than knee level, as they are not intended to be genuine attacks.

They only need to draw the opponent’s attention low as you leap forward.

As soon as you see that the opponent is moving to block his low line, strike to the right side of the opponent’s neck with the intention of rendering him unconscious.

Entering Defensively

Studies of historical injury patterns show that the left side of the head is targeted far more often than the right, and that the great majority of blows come from a downward direction. This is in accordance with the habitual method of attack for a right-handed person. Whether it is Roman gladiators (Head Injuries of Roman Gladiators” Forensic Sci Int. 2006 Jul 13;Vol 160(Issues 2–3), Pages 89–236.) or medieval soldiers, the majority of injuries sustained in combat are found on the left side of the skull. In his 2016 research paper on the 1461 Battle of Towton, which occurred in England during the Wars of the Roses, Michael Cahill writes, “The majority of the blunt force wounds were delivered to the front left side of the skull indicating that these individuals partook in face to face combat against right handed assailants.”
