Which technique is described as a distraction technique?

• A. Angle Kick
• B. Front Thrust Kick
• C. Palm Heel Strike
• D. Brachial Stun

Answer: (B)

Distraction techniques are about creating a brief opening by drawing the attacker’s attention away from your escape path. The front thrust kick fits this use well because it’s quick, simple, and can be delivered with minimal commitment, enough to disrupt the attacker’s focus and reaction momentarily. That brief pause lets you step away or reposition, which is the primary goal of a distraction. The other options are more about direct impact or control, rather than creating a window to escape, so they aren’t as suited to the purpose of distraction.
