How to Perform a Front Defensive Kick

  1. Stance & Balance: Begin in a stable fighting stance with your feet shoulder-width apart and hands up in a guard position.

  2. Chambering the Kick: Lift your knee toward your chest while maintaining balance.

  3. Extension & Impact: Thrust your foot forward in a straight motion, striking with the Palm of your foot or heel, depending on the target.

  4. Hip Engagement: Drive your hips forward to generate power while keeping your upper body stable.

  5. Follow-Through & Recovery: After impact, quickly retract your leg and return to your guard stance.

This kick is highly effective for stopping an opponent’s forward movement while maintaining control of the fight.
