Front Kick - Mae Geri

The technique shown below is illustrated in my book Modern Self Defense for the 21st  

Mae Geri is effective when your opponent is in front of you or when you wish to move your opponent back (increasing the distance between you and Uke). The following key points should be remembered:

  • Speed is more desirable than power. All the power in the world wont help your kick is too slow

  • Never over-extend the kick. Extending the kick too far with make you off balance and make you vulnerable to counter strikes, sweeps and throws.

  • Always exhale when kicking. This increases power to the technique.

Practice kicking techniques in front of a mirror. This way you can see what you are doing.  I carry this over into my dojo and when working with students, I will perform the mirror image of what I am teaching. For added balance, keep your hand against a wall for added support.

Bringing the right knee upward, extend the leg striking with the ball of the foot, retract the leg back to the right knee upward position, then return the leg to the original position.  Bend the left knee for added balance.  Repeat for opposite side.

 

 Remember, without safety, there can be no Jujitsu. 

Before beginning any martial art practice, you must always know primary rule.
