In violence, martial arts, and combat sports, a kick is an attack using the foot, leg, or knee (also known as a knee strike). This attack is often used in hand-to-hand combat, especially in stand-up fighting. Kicks have greater power and reach than strikes made with the hands. Kicks play a great part in many martial arts, such as Taekwondo, kung fu, karate, kickboxing, Muay Thai, capoeira, Silat, and Savate. Some arts do not utilize kicks at all, such as judo and boxing. Other arts limit the use of kicks to attacks on the legs and lower body, while some sport martial arts tournaments only allow kicking above the waist. The usefulness of kicks in self-defense and actual combat has been debated. Some, like Bruce Lee, have commented that the leg, thanks to its size and weight, is a more powerful weapon than the arm. Because kicks are more exotic than punches, they may intimidate and catch a fighter off-guard, and because the leg is longer than the arm, kicks tend to keep an opponent at a distance and to surprise him or her with their range. Many have reported successfully using kicks in real-life self-defense situations, and some modern combat systems such as Krav Maga, intended primarily for self-defense and combat, have incorporated kicks. Others, however, argue that compared to punches and other hand strikes, a kick is overly slow, predictable, and unbalancing, and that high kicks are particularly impractical.
