I decided to start a new series of posts today, giving you my pick of all of the deadliest street fighting techniques I can find from any martial art.

I am kicking things of with something very simple, but very deadly - the stomp. Stamping on the head of a person who is on the ground causes serious damage and can often actually be fatal, so it is something you should never do except in the most desperate possible circumstances (like if you are being attacked by more than one person who you know wants to do you serious harm, and you need to make sure that if you knock someone down they won’t just get straight back up and come at you again).

So here is the technique for performing a powerful stomp. Raise your knee up as high and as close to your body as you can without losing your balance - it doesn’t matter how high your foot is lifted from the ground, it is the height of the knee that will determine how much power you can put into the technique. As you raise your knee you should also raise both hands in front of your body and cross them over. As you stomp down simultaneously throw your arms down and uncross them with as much force as you can. This arm movement serves 2 functions. Firstly it helps you to put all of the weight of your body into the stomp, and it also generates extra momentum from the muscles of the upper body an focusses it downwards into the stomp.
