A common technique in the martial arts is the front snap kick. While not as flashy as some kicks, this technique has a lot going for it: it gets the job done, it fairly easy to learn, and when delivered with precision it can be incredibly fast and powerful. This article will explain what you need to do in order to perform a proper front snap kick. (Note: The front snap kick is often referred to as simply the front kick or the snap kick.)

What is a front snap kick? A front snap kick is a move in which you raise your knee up and then quickly snap your foot forward into your target. The direction of force for this move is straight in front of you, and the area that you strike with is the ball of the foot, the tough spot right behind your toes on the underside of your foot. It is a good general-purpose kick that can be used in board breaking, fighting, and is a common sight in forms (kata, poomse) as well. The kick can be delivered to the groin, stomach, chest, throat, face, or any other target that presents itself.
