How many times have you seen Chuck Norris in the Texas Rangers, I believe, and other shows conquer opponents with his high flying kicks and other martial arts skills?
Very impressive, but you don't need to be that good to defend yourself. Aim much lower. The points you want to aim for are about four finger widths above the inside of each ankle bone.
Focus your kicks on these spots and you can derail any attacker very quickly -- perhaps even break his leg.
The key is to visualize yourself doing this and then practice, practice, practice -- either with a friend (pulling your kicks of course) or one of those long punching bags used in martial arts and boxing gyms. Even wrap some padding around an upright post or tree and use either of these to practice until you have it all down pat.
You just never know when such a skill could help you protect yourself and others.
Incidentally, the vulnerability of this point just above your ankle means you should never confront any unknown persons in less than a 45 degree angle in most cases.
