Karate Kicking Technique – Mae Tobi Geri (or Jumping Front Kick)

This page provide details on how to do a Mae Tobi Geri or Karate jumping front kick. This kick is also called a flying front kick (when you get a bit of run before executing the kick).

In contrast to a basic Mae Geri (front kick) which can be used to kick an opponent in the groin, the Mae Tobi Geri can be used to kick an opponent in the chin.
