Yeah, don't overlook this. You can easily hammer-fist a foot when someone is running and his foot is off the ground, and flexible person really can drop and punch the foot that easy. It's probably best to roll these ifs, ands, buts, and maybes into the -4 to strike the foot. For minimally trained-to-average fighters (skill 10-12), this is the same as unworkable. You'd have to be fairly remarkable to begin with to absorb a -4.
