Appalachian Karate Online: Mae Geri (front kick): Instep

Mae Geri is the first kick we will learn. To preform this kick, step into natural stance or Zenkutsu Datchi, Push off the floor with the kicking leg or back leg if in Zenkutsu Datchi bringing the knee up, extend the leg striking with the instep of the foot. Next and one of the most important things is snap the leg back imminently into the knee up position and then return the leg to it’s starting position. Repeat for the other leg, if in Zenkutsu Datchi switch stance so the other leg is forward.
