Front Thrust Kick

Same as front kick except instead of the foot snapping into the target, the foot is thrust through the target. Instead of the leg snapping from the hip, the hip is thrust forward to push the foot into and through the target. The front thrust kick is not as powerful as the front kick, since it applies its force over a longer period, but it is effective when used attack the target while also pushing the opponent away to give you more room to use other more powerful techniques.
