While Krav Maga does use kicks, it focuses on efficient, low-risk
kicks. The actual focus is on low kicks. More advanced and risk prone kicks are taught at highlevels, but use of them is discouraged. They are mainly taught so that practitioners are able to
recognize them in case they are facing an experienced opponent with a background in kick-heavymartial arts, such as taekwondo. Some of the leg techniques that are taught include the front kick,
round kick, side kick, back kick, heel kick, slap kicks, axe kicks, various knee strikes, and
sweeping.
