- As has been pointed out, the foot is covered with a nice hard shoe, but
- the shin isnt. Considering the tibial nerve runs down the shin in an exposed
- position, making it such a good target for causing foot drop and making the
- leg useless for such trivia as standing on, isnt it risky to use it as a
- weapon? Particularly if it is blocke with something hard. Have you not then
- rednered yourself inoperable and unable to cope with followup attacks?
