hook kick

1.) Also known as a "Girlie Kick". 2.) To kick someone with the instep of one's foot rather than the ball of the foot (AKA Front Kick) It is also known as the "girlie kick" for its graceful and feminine appearance. A woman will often use the "girlie kick" when kicking a man in the crotch, whereas a guy will often use the front kick technique. 3.) In certain forms of Ro Sham Bo, namely "Professional Ro Sham Bo" hook kicks or girlie kicks are illegal. This is so because hook kicks can be used to cheat or "set up a match." Cheating is ensued by kicking with the toe tips up into the anal region, thereby missing the crotch.
