Shield Kicking

4.7.12 - Players are allowed to kick shields, provided the kicker keeps one foot on the ground. (No flying kicks!) Shield kicking must be done with regard for the safety of other fighters and will be monitored carefully by the Heralds.

Shield Kicking Conventions

As a shield becomes larger, its cone of defense increases. Considering shields are constructed from relatively light-weight materials, especially coreless shields, large shields are not significantly more encumbering during combat. As a result of Dagorhir weapons technology, shield kicking evolved as a way to manipulate a larger shield in order to create openings in an opponents defense.
