Background
This kick is very powerful when it impacts with the opponent due to the force brought by the forward momentum - but it might be slow and difficult to perform successfully - as a skilled opponent will be able to dodge it easily without some kind of a preliminary strike.
Description of the Technique
To perform this kick: jump forwards while raising the front knee and release it the same way as a push kick- with the momentum of the entire body put into the strike. This force is added to the already considerable momentum caused by the jump - which makes the kick very powerful even if it doesn't knock the opponent down, the power of the kick will push him backwards. This kick is meant to hit the torso or the face of an opponent.
