It was apparently a gang trick to use modified shoe taps on the toes of shoes so that the edge of the metal tap would protrude slightly. While this couldn\'t possibly create a deep enough wound to be fatal, a solid slash to bare skin might still necessitate stitches - and if the person thus injured were to be IDed by police at the hospital, the wound would still accomplish getting the person out of the other side\'s hair for awhile.

I have doubts about any \\\'traditions\\\' involving bare feet, as traditionally it was practiced in shoes; Bimba had his school train in bare feet in order to try to keep his students inside of the training hall and off of the street, to help sanitize his interpretation of the art to get it legalized.
