Front Kick
Angular Front Kick
Used to stop, intercept, or check an incoming kick before, or just after, it is executed.
Foot position. The foot is vertical, but twisted outward.
Striking Surface. Strike with the sole of the foot.
Leg Position. Use some chamber, leg snaps and hooks outward, and then re-chamber.
Usage. Use it to kick inner thigh of an attempted side kick.
Movement. Performed similar to a twist kick or a low outside crescent kick, except foot is twisted so sole of foot makes contact.
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.
