Don't forget that if your using MA pg125: 'harsh realism', parries with hands and C reach weapon to stamps and kicks to legs are at -2.

And if your parrying with your feet you can't retreat.

However I do find it a bit odd that a stamp to the ankle defaults at -10 (-3 to stamp, -7 to target the ankle) which is the same penalty to hit the eye through a visor slit.

Stamp to the ankle is obviously the worst of both attack type and target of course, and TBF in balance a ST10 without heavy boots is doing 1d-1 thr cr damage and will cripple the ankle of a ST10 target 50% of the time

Also while maxing out Kicking and TA Kick/Joint(Knee) is hefty investment, you have that kicking bonus for other kicking attacks as well.
