Where do you land your lead front kick?

[Marsha Larts]

It depends.

If the opp is in range, every kick is a step and every step is a kick. Sometimes the same holds true even when they think they're out of range. Anything from the navel to the ankle can be a target of opportunity while taking a step. What looks like a kick can be nothing more than a step, and vice versa.

Obviously the answer to this is "it depends".

But I've seen different people practice with a lead front kick or a teep, aiming for either the head, abs/ribs, hips, knees and groin.

Assuming its for the purpose of stopping an incoming attacker, which is your personal preference, and why? How does your form change when you change the target?

Usually to the midsection, to the stomach area. For me the lead front kick is a set up kick, I use it to set up and land other techniques.
