Which is NOT listed as a control outcome for Front Thrust Kick?

• A. Balance displacement
• B. Stunning
• C. Distraction
• D. Motor dysfunction

Answer: (C)

Control outcomes describe the observable effects a defensive technique aims to produce to regain safety and control. For a Front Thrust Kick, the listed effects include balance displacement, which upsets the opponent’s stance; stunning, which creates a brief interruption of normal function; and motor dysfunction, which temporarily impairs movement. Distraction does not reflect a direct, measurable physical effect used to control an attacker; it’s more about shifting attention than producing a verifiable immediate impact on balance or motor ability. Because of that, Distraction is not a listed control outcome.
