When confronted by someone who is going to attack you, it may be very important for you to start screaming and kicking your way out of danger. By learning how to kick the right way, you can not only push your attacker back a few steps, but you can also start swinging while they are off balance if you are unable to take off for safety. These kicks require some power and some effort on your behalf, but if it is effective enough to save your life or the life of someone you love, it will be worth it. Now is the time to start preparing for what may happen. Practice kicking if you need to and perhaps build up a little leg strength while you are at it.
