            ball of the foot, the so called koshi. A very important element of the kick is lifting the

            level of the waist, while the lower leg is pointing vertically downwards. After snaping th
            at the target, the leg moves swiftly back on the same trajectory in order to prevent the o
            catching the leg or losing stability. A relative technical simplicity of the kick allows t

            of attack in karate. The striking surface of a kick is usually the outer edge of the foot
