I’ve always had a difficult time finding this and actually just used KD3 as a sub (awful I know), because I never felt confident finding KD6. I blame my foot’s anatomy. I have no trace whatsoever of any tendon around my medial malleolus and I can’t find a divot or any sign of a point anywhere near where KD6 is. This an LV8 are two points that I will never know if I’ve found. 🥺
