Front Snap Kick
Ahp Chagi
Ahp Chagi
This technique is designed to attack an opponent in the front. The face, solar plexus,
abdomen, scrotum, armpit and floating ribs are the targets. It is performed with the ball of the
foot, instep, toes and knee, and is broken down into low and middle front snap kicks as far as
the ball of the foot and toes are concerned.
The common principles of this kick:
The stationary leg must be relaxed at the moment of impact.
The knee of the kicking leg must be brought sharply toward
the chest prior to kicking.
These two motions must be co-ordinated in one smooth, swift action.
The attacking tool must reach the target in a straight line.
The kicking foot must be withdrawn immediately after the kick, then brought back to the floor.
The toes of the stationary foot should point to the front at the moment of impact.
The stationary foot must not pivot throughout the kicking.
