In Push Kick, what is the primary movement through the target area?

• A. Push it straight forward explosively through the target area
• B. Bring the knee high
• C. Step to the side
• D. Keep the knee bent

Answer: (A)

The key idea is delivering energy in a straight line through the target. The push kick generates power by a quick, full extension of the kicking leg, driven from the hips so the foot travels through the target with the leg nearly straight. This straight-through drive maximizes reach, maintains balance, and creates space by pushing past the point of contact rather than stopping there. Lifting the knee or keeping it bent breaks the line of attack and reduces power, while stepping to the side shifts your angle instead of driving through. Focus on projecting energy directly forward through the target.
