5. Front Kick
A jab with the heel of the foot; can be done with either leg.
Imaginary Targets: Knee, Groin, Chest
- Stand with left foot forward and fists by face in fighting stance, then shift your weight to right foot.
- Bring left knee up to the chest, foot flexed, heel close to the glutes (not shown).
- Keep fists up and kick straight out from the hip as if you were punching with your heel; retract immediately and return to fighting stance.
Quick Tip: Picture slamming a door open with your foot.
Next: 6. Roundhouse Kick
