A taekwondo sidekick. In violence, martial arts, and combat sports, a kick is an attack using the foot, leg, or knee (also known as a knee strike). This attack is often used in hand-to-hand combat, especially in stand-up fighting. Kicks have greater power and reach than strikes made with the hands. Kicks play a great part in many martial arts, such as Taekwondo, kung fu, karate, kickboxing, Muay Thai, capoeira, Silat, and Savate. Some arts do not utilize kicks at all, such as judo and boxing. Other arts limit the use of kicks to attacks on the legs and lower body, while some sport martial arts tournaments only allow kicking above the waist. The usefulness of kicks in self-defense and actual combat has been debated. Some, like Bruce Lee, have commented that the leg, thanks to its size and weight, is a more powerful weapon than the arm. Because kicks are more exotic than punches, they may intimidate and catch a fighter off-guard, and because the leg is longer than the arm, kicks tend to keep an opponent at a distance and to surprise him or her with their range. Many have reported successfully using kicks in real-life self-defense situations, and some modern combat systems such as Krav Maga, intended primarily for self-defense and combat, have incorporated kicks. Others, however, argue that compared to punches and other hand strikes, a kick is overly slow, predictable, and unbalancing, and that high kicks are particularly impractical. 1 Kick variations 2 Basic kicks 2.1 Front kick 2.2 Side kick 2.3 Back kick 3 Advanced kicks 3.1 Axe kick 3.2 Butterfly kick 3.3 Calf kick 3.4 Crescent kick 3.5 Hook kick 3.6 Revers..." 2) "Backs" -- As to kick backs 1back Pronunciation: 'bak Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Old English bæc; akin to Old High German bah back, Old Norse bak 1 a (1) : the rear part of the human body especially from the neck to the end of the spine (2) : the body considered as the wearer of clothes (3) : capacity for labor, effort, or endurance (4) : the back considered as the seat of one's awareness of duty or failings <get off my back> (5) : the back considered as an area of vulnerability <the police officer's partner always watches his back> b : the part of a lower animal (as a quadruped) corresponding to the human back c : SPINAL COLUMN d : SPINE 1c 2 a : the side or surface opposite the front or face : the rear part; also : the farther or reverse side b : something at or on the back for support <back of a chair> c : a place away from the front <sat in back> 3 : a position in some games (as football or soccer) behind the front line of players; also : a player in this position - backed /'bakt/ adjective - back·less /'bak-l&s/ adjective - back of one's hand or back of the hand : a show of contempt - back of one's mind : the remote part of one's mind where thoughts and memories are stored to be drawn on - behind one's back : without one's knowledge : in secret - in back of : BEHIND Pronunciation Symbols "Back" redirects here. For other uses, please see Back (disambiguation). Painting of a woman's back by Edgar Degas. The human back is the large posterior area of the human body, rising from the top of the buttocks to the back of the neck and the shoulders. It is the surface opposite to the chest, its height being defined by the vertebral column (commonly referred to as the spine or backbone) and its breadth being supported by the ribcage and shoulders. The spinal canal runs through the spine and provides nerves to the rest of the body. 1 Anatomy of the back 1.1 Skeletal structure of the back 1.2 Muscles of the back 1.3 Function of the back 1.4 Back pain 1.5 Organs of the back 1.6 Surface of the back 2 Significance in human society 3 References Figure 3 : Posterior view of the thorax and shoulder girdle. (Morris.) The central feature of the human back is the vertebral column, specifically the length from the top of the thoracic vertebrae to the bottom of the lumbar vertebrae, which houses the spinal cord in its spinal canal, and which generally has some curvature that gives shape to the back. The ribcage extends from the spine at the top of the back (with the top of the ribcage corresponding to the T1 vertebra), more than halfway down the length of the back, leaving an area with less protection between the bottom of the ribcage and the hips. The width of the back at the top is defined by the scapula, the broad, flat bones of the shoulders. The spine is bordered by several groups of muscles, including the intertransversarii muscle which facilitate movement between the individual vertabrae, and the multifidus spinae, which facilitate the movement of the spine as a whole.
