Front Kick Focus
Pose a threat, close the distance, remain balanced.
The front kick is one of the most underutilized and misunderstood kicks in martial arts and modern combat sports. It is the most versatile kick that there is and can be used for virtually anything: power or speed, creating space or closing distance, setting up shots or finishing your opponents.
