Practical alternatives to flying kicks

Strategy:
Fancy flying kicks are a great exercise and lots of fun, but they are not the most practical self-defence techniques to use.

Punches and low kicks are far more practical options for when it really comes time to defending yourself.

Below are two action photos.

The first photo looks spectacular but is not very realistic self-defence.

The second photo shows a more practical alternative that may not look as good, but is more likely to work.

Keeping self-defence techniques simple will improve your chances of success.
