Footstomp Home Practice Exercise

To practice safely, I find using a cushion is a reasonable training device. Bracing the cushion against the wall is helpful. DO NOT KICK HARD! The person kicking should pay close attention not to accidentally stomp the hand that holds the cushion.

The kicker can begin by standing so their side is facing the target to Side Footstomp into the cushion. This is demonstrated in the above picture where the kicker is footstomping into the cushion from her left side.

Practice Footstomps in all four positions to the cushion: Front, Left Side, Right Side, and Back.

Using household items and a good partner can make a difference in learning all the basic self defense moves. We have shown other household items on this site that can be effective in learning the basic self defense strikes.

Examples are the palm heel strike, and using an empty gallon container with a built in handle and some sketching of eyes and ears made a good home training device when practicing the Ear Slap basic self defense move.
