The Mighty Front Kick

Firstly, let's analyse the ways of executing the kick,

Snap - After chambering the kicking leg (by bringing the knee joint to the chest) the kicking ft is snapped towards to the mark using the ball of the ft to strike. As the ft is thrust forward the hips are also thrust simultaneously slightly forward, to add powerfulness to the strike. After a full contact blow is made penetrating the target, the ft is brought back to the chambered place and dropped to the floor. The preferable marks are the knee articulation articulation (front or side), just above the hip joint or the inguen using the shin or instep to strike.

Thrust - Again after chambering the kicking leg, the ft is push towards the tree trunk country or thigh of the opposition with a coincident hip thrust to add powerfulness to the kick. Because of this kicking type being a push and not a snap, normally it is to hard for the ft to be retracted to the chambered place so it is dropped to the flooring with the manus held high for possible counters. It is utile as a halt hit. The dramatic country of the ft for the thrust, is usually the exclusive or heel.

Above states us that the catch boot marks (knee, groin) are too unsafe to be used for competition. Hitting these countries necessitate small powerfulness to be effective, where the countries for the push boot demand a batch of powerfulness to be effectual (trunk, thigh). Also well trained combatants can easily see the boot coming where a underhand roundhouse come ups in from the side and is harder to block. Because the catch is aimed low, it is much harder to see and defend.

So grounds why the presence boot is not used by professional combatants could be that because the preferable marks are too unsafe for competition and should be left to the street, and that it is an easy to kick to support against.
