This is not necessarily about foot stomping, but have any of you stepped onto your opponent's feet intentionally as you entered?
Thoughts?

sometimes in a clinch I stand on one of their feet and throw uppercuts so their foot is planted under mine and they cant move upwards with it.
I can do it from a lunging jab too but that would require a lot of practice now I think about.

It doesn't usually happen on purpose and usually only with those freaks of nature known as Southpaws. Not a big deal. I don't use it as a tactic simply because it's not as effective as I'd like. My opponents tend to always be moving, as do I, and a step on the toes isn't really giving me any advantage. But if you can make it work for you, go for it.

I sometimes do it. I'm not a southpaw but I am a switcher, meaning I'll fight from a left or right stance and usually swap a couple of times in a bout/round/match. I don't do it on puropse, like sweeping I really don't have the timing to bother with it but a couple of times when I've done skip switches rather than stepping switches I've landed on my opponent's toes or feet and I'm not one to pass up an opportunity for the sake of sportsmanship.

Happens all the time, especially in styles that involves a lot of clinching. I had my toe cracked several times from having 100kg+ guys do it accidentally.
Edit: Toenail, not toe. Toenail cracked.

Of course. I've never done it by accident always intended. My instructor does it to me heaps pins my foot to the ground so I can't evade or withdraw from his strikes. Forces me to confront him. In a fight it`d be great its the same as having sumwhone pressed up against a wall, they have no room to move as long as uve got enough pressure on their foot. Great technique

In self defense or teaching self defense i is a good strategy. It works extremely well if you have a person that retreats a lot. You step on the foot to keep them from backing up. It slightly brings them off balance because they can't move. It makes the uncomfortable because you are too close in range. Then you make your strike quickly and very hard.

I like doing it as a lead in to a jab, if their feet are close enough for me to step on then I will do it, as said, it messes up their balance and make the strike that much more effective. Also I've found that if you can do it intentionally it throws off a persons mental game.
