Advancing Front Kick – Krav Maga

This page provides details for the Krav Maga advancing front kick (also known as a front kick with an advance). This self-defense technique allows you to move aggressively towards your attacker and throw a front kick at a vital area (i.e. groin). This kicking technique can be used from either a Krav Maga neutral/passive or fighting stance. The advancing front kick is used to defend against an attacker who is some distance from you (versus in-close). For information on other Krav Maga techniques (i.e. kicks, punches and grappling), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main Krav Maga Techniques section.

This information is meant to supplement what is taught at Krav Maga schools. To properly understand these techniques, you need to learn them from a certified Krav Maga instructor who can give an in-depth explanation of the technique, correct your mistakes and detail how the technique should be utilized. All martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. In addition, all martial arts techniques and training should be used safely and responsibly.
