    In the first week of class up at the U of U, we worked  the front push kick a bit.  It’s a really fun move, and when you can properly anticipate an opponent advancing toward you, your foot jab takes the wind out of their sails.

    Mainly used as a defensive move, it can nicely counter the straight right of an opponent (assuming orthodox stances) and even various kick attempts.

    If you are looking for a more aggressive front style kick, used for offense, you can take some cues from Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida with their recent KO victories using the front leg snap kick variation.
