The crescent kick is used for blocking the attacking hand or
foot to the middle section and area below. The sole of the
foot is the tool, which should reach the target in an arc. An
advantage of this technique is that the blocking foot can be
available for a swift counter attack. The main target should
be the elbow joint, achilles tendon or ankle joint with the
forearm and outer or inner tibia secondary. Though the
outside block is more effective, an inside block is also used
frequently. Keep the back heel faced downward at the
moment of the block. This technique is classified into low
and middle crescent kicks.
