head kick
Foot to face
A head kick is a kick aimed at an opponent's head, typically in combat sports like kickboxing, MMA, or taekwondo.
A clean head kick can end a fight instantly through knockout.
The technique requires flexibility and timing: He landed a devastating head kick in the third round.
Outside martial arts, the term sometimes describes any forceful blow to someone's plans or confidence.
