I think the best kick to use in self defense is the low round kick, preferably with the shin. By low, I mean below the waist, on the common peronial (the nerve on the outside of the upper leg).


I agree 100%. I also feel that low front kicks are effective as well as stomp kicks.

I think the front kick and the stomp will be easier to pull off than a low side kick, which still requires some body re-alignment.

front kick using the heel - keeping it from the waist down it will cause a lot of damage and it is very difficult to block.
you can stomp with it, you can kick the legs, knees, abdomen.

Also, it is great for following up with the hands for a combo.
