Hapkido Shin Kick

This page provides details on the Hapkido Shin Kick. This kick is also known as a Scoop Kick To The Shin. In self-defense situations, a Hapikdo kick is used to injure an attacker’s shin. In contrast, a Muay Thai shin kick uses the shin to strike an opponent. For information on other martial arts kicks (i.e. spinning hook kick), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main kicking techniques page.

Martial arts kicks and all other martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. In addition, all martial arts techniques and training should be used safely and responsibly.
