The thing is that you don't. The animation is bad so you don't really know where you are kicking and if you are using a weapon you get the same animation over and over again, sometimes the enemy turns onto their backs for some reason and not enough reaction from the enemy as well. In AC1 it is made crystal clear that you are impaling him deep in the neck.
