a striking technique in kickboxing targeting an opponent's thigh or lower leg
A low kick is a strike aimed at an opponent's lower body, typically targeting the thighs or legs, especially the outer thigh or calf. It is commonly used in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and other striking sports. The low kick is effective for weakening the opponent's stance, slowing them down, and creating openings for other strikes. It can also disrupt their balance and movement, making it harder for them to counterattack. The kick is usually delivered with the shin, using body rotation for power, and can be thrown quickly to target the legs while staying at a safe distance.
