push kick
Leg thrust attack
A push kick is a martial arts technique where the foot is thrust forward to strike an opponent, typically aimed at the midsection to create distance rather than deliver maximum force.
Unlike snapping kicks that retract quickly, the push kick extends through the target: He used a push kick to keep his opponent at range.
Common in Muay Thai, MMA, and self-defense training.
