i wouldn't use the instep in a real fight though, unless you are as comfortable with your instep as like a front snap kick.... even then, it wouldnt be as effective as a direct connecting front kick....

What part of the foot foot do you use with the front kick? Is it the ball?

I've recently experienced this one first hand. I came from a kempo school where were taught a TKD style round-house which was essentially a "snap" round-house striking with the instep.

Thats the type of round-house I learned in TKD when i was 10. But I use it when I fire a high roundhouse. Ive been using the MT version for middle and low. I just practice it on the heavy bag. I havent kicked a shin or a forarm with it mutch less an elbow with my instep. I only use side kicks and hooking heels sparing. But I just spar friends, because I train myself. Not by choice but by location.

However once you can really snap your leg, the snapping roundhouse is far more devastating then a "push" roundhouse.

Do you think a snap round-house with the shin would be effective? Im going to try it tommorow. Guess im gonna have to develop my lower shins after all. O well bruises arent that bad. I wear lowtops anyways.
