Defense Against A Low Round Kick – Krav Maga

This page provides details for a Krav Maga defense against a low round kick. This self-defense technique focuses on using a martial artist’s shins in order to protect against low kicks. Other martial arts use this technique but they also focus on evading a kick and thus avoiding potential injury if the attacker lands a strong kick. In contrast, Krav Maga wants to get close and be aggressive in countering an attack in order to get the fight over quickly. For more Krav Maga techniques (i.e. punches, kicks & grappling), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main Krav Maga Techniques section.

This information is meant to supplement what is taught at Krav Maga schools. To properly understand these techniques, you need to learn them from a certified Krav Maga instructor who can give an in-depth explanation of the technique, correct your mistakes and detail how the technique should be utilized. All martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. In addition, all martial arts techniques and training should be used safely and responsibly.
