Which technique is Front Kick?

• A. Choong Dan Yup Mahk Ki
• B. Ahp Cha Ki
• C. Sang Dan Soo Do Mahk Ki
• D. Ha Dan Soo Do Mahk Ki

Answer: (B)

Ahp Cha Ki is the front kick. It’s a straight-line kick aimed directly at the target, typically the midsection, delivered with the ball of the foot. The movement starts with the knee chambering up toward the chest, then the leg extends straight forward while the hips stay square and the upper body stays compact. After contact, the foot snaps back to the chamber position to protect the leg and be ready for defense.

This kick emphasizes speed, distance control, and a direct path to the target, making it distinct from other techniques that involve blocks or different directions. The Korean name itself literally reflects a forward kick, which is why this is the best choice.
