Impact is made with the ball of the foot, the heel, or the
entire foot. The front foot is used for rapid kicks, the rear
foot for powerful kicks.

your rear leg.
• For a kick with your rear foot, initially move your front
foot slightly to the side so that your toes are pointing
about forty-five degrees to the outside.
• Pull your knee toward the upper part of your body.
Your guard stays up. If you carry out the technique
with your rear foot, you also turn forward with the
rear part of your upper body.
• Kick in a straight line and use your hip. Your pivot leg
turns along with the move to the outside.
• Stretch your kicking leg on impact and lean slightly
back with your upper body.
• Quickly return your leg to the fight stance.
