The Eye Strike


In the above images the eye strike is done with triangular footwork. The step up on the reverse triangle quickly gets you out of the way and sets up additional techniques if necessary.



Here you can see the same eye strike done moving backward on a forward triangle, followed by a groin kick.



The two pictures above show correct and incorrect ways to use the eye strike. In the first image the eye strike is done against a punching attack. The footwork and backhand angle the strike is thrown at protects against the punch. In the second image you can see an eye strike thrown straight out from a stationary position. In this case the opponent is easily able to score with an attack of his own.
