A common technique in the martial arts is the front snap kick. While not as flashy as some kicks, this technique has a lot going for it: it gets the job done, it fairly easy to learn, and when delivered with precision it can be incredibly fast and powerful. This article will explain what you need to do in order to perform a proper front snap kick. (Note: The front snap kick is often referred to as simply the front kick or the snap kick.)What is a front snap kick? A front snap kick is a move in which you raise your knee up and then quickly snap your foot forward into your target. The direction of force for this move is straight in front of you, and the area that you strike with is the ball of the foot, the tough spot right behind your toes on the underside of your foot. It is a good general-purpose kick that can be used in board breaking, fighting, and is a common sight in forms (kata, poomse) as well. The kick can be delivered to the groin, stomach, chest, throat, face, or any other target that presents itself.To deliver one of these kicks, assume your fighting position. The front kick can be performed with either the front leg or the back leg, but for now let's work on the...more

In this article you will learn some key pointers and some of the best street martial arts techniques from a variety of fighting styles, providing with the crucial skills needed to keep you alive in the event of an actual attack.The best street martial arts technique I ever learned is trapping. By using this type of move, you are actually trapping your adversary's extremities, keeping him or her from being able to attack. One way to accomplish this is to wrap an arm around your assailant, keeping his or her arms pinned to the body, and perform numerous strikes to the body and face with your free hand.Another technique from this list of martial arts moves is to stay away from fancy kicks like in Tae Kwon Do! Although some martial artists seem to think that the flashy Taekwondo-style high kicks work, THEY REALLY DON'T! Think about it - does it really make any sense to commit ANY action that will most likely leave yourself and your balance completely vulnerable to your assailant? Of course not! Avoid high kicks at all costs, and pick targets such as the knees, shins and groin.One more best street martial arts technique is any counterattack to sensitive areas of the body that can create...more
