Elite kickboxers have few things in common, but almost none of them are easy to kick in the head. Not getting kicked in the head is day one stuff.

What made Peter Aerts so special was that he could take high level competition, and get them to drop their hands for long enough that he could clap a shin bone across their skull. Whether it be pushing them off balance, driving down one of their hands, forcing them to react to jabs or palming their head off with one extended hand, Aerts had a trick for all occasions.
