Front Kick (Right Stance) The front kick is the most simple kick technique to perform, power, height and accuracy can be gained from a number of key elements:
As you start the kick turn the foot you will be standing
on outwards slightly. This opens your hips.
The higher you lift your knee before you kick the easier
the kick will be.
Remember to kick with the ball of your foot. You should
curl your toes up towards you to acheive this.
Do not force the kick or try to reach somewhere you can't
- this will lead to injury. A kick should be a relaxed movement
of the leg.
Before finishing the movement pause with your knee up
- in a fight this pause would be the amount of time it would
take you to decide if you were putting the leg down in front
/ behind or were going to kick again. In training it merely
strengthens the muscles and readies the mind to think of
options rather than just kick. pause. what next?
Remember to recover the kick back. No point in leaving
it hanging out there now is there?
All techniques should be practiced under the supervision
of a qualified instructor.
