This is why it's very important to keep your eyes at the chest level of the person your fighting, never at his face. I've set up a lot of people this way. Look low kick high. It especially works when you look low and fire off a low kick a couple of times before going for the head kick!.

That sounds like fun - I am going to try that when I am sparring. A new way to set up a head kick Smile

Can't blame me for trying.

another 'fun game' is: look low, kick low; look low, kick low; look high, kick low.

My favorite technique!! But veteran and seasoned fighters know to look for this. So dont go to the well too many times with this one.

Haha, I've been nailed with this one before. It's the kind of mistake you make once... okay maybe twice... but then you not to anticipate too much.
No harm in trying though.

This is a set up. You want to gauge your opponent's reaction before you execute this technique. This is a classic striker's technique!
