A fighter can survive a punch to the face. He can survive a hard body shot. But what happens when you take away his ability to stand? For years, the calf kick was treated as a relatively minor weapon. Something painful, perhaps, but rarely considered fight-ending. That perception has changed. By repeatedly attacking the calf, fighters can damage their opponent’s ability to move, maintain balance, generate power, and defend themselves. And once the foundation disappears, everything else starts to fall apart. From Ryogo Takahashi repeatedly attacking Takanori Takahashi’s leg, to Shino vs. Airuto, Toshihiro Yamakawa vs. Rikito Suzuki, Michael Lombardo vs. Kyron Bowen, and a series of spectacular low-kick stoppages, these fights reveal just how quickly a seemingly simple kick can change an entire fight. Some fighters saw it coming. Others didn’t. And in several of these fights, one more kick was all it took. This is what happens when fighters discover the terrifying power of the calf kick.
