Three fundamental kicks in traditional Karate. These are useful in both striking and self-defense, and are also incorporated into other martial arts like Taekwondo and Kung Fu.

Here's a breakdown of each:

1. Mae Geri – Front Kick

🔹 Name Meaning:

Mae = Front

Geri = Kick

(Geri is a modified form of "keri" due to Japanese grammar rules)

🔹 Ex*****on:

Chamber: Lift your knee high in front of you.

Snap: Extend your foot straight forward quickly (ball of the foot is the striking surface).

Retract: Snap it back immediately.

Reset: Place your foot back into stance.

🔹 Targets:
Groin, stomach, chin, knees.

🔹 Key Points:
Use the ball of the foot (not the toes).

Keep hands up for guard.

Quick snap and return prevents grabs.
