Lee Morrison – Urban Combatives. Secondary Tools: Low-Line Hard Skills

Part One of this series focuses on the use of Low-Line Hard Skills, such as low kicks and stomps with the boot.
Combatives were influenced by a number of martial arts throughout WWII, including early Japanese Ju-Jitsu, Western Boxing, filthy techniques from bar-room brawling, and French Street Savate.
In brief, everything that has shown its value in real-world hand-to-hand fighting was deemed worthy of inclusion in the Combative arsenal.
A check through various 1940s British, American, and Canadian manuals demonstrates this.
In this article, we will look at numerous Low-Line tools modified for 21st Century Self-Protection, with inspiration from French Street Savate.
The spike/point kick, edge-of-boot kick, shin kick, pivot kick, and stomp are all tools.
The DVD goes into great length on them, as well as tools and aiming, combative scenario applications, training drills, and much more…
