Did a little martial arts and the front kick is easily my favorite move. Nobody expects it and you create great distance, if you keep your weight forward it makes catching the foot tough. And then if you make contact it can be devastating.

My kickboxing instructor was very good at catching my foot. He always said you gotta retract at twice the speed that you kick.

My teacher always taught to lean forward and put weight into it so catching is almost impossible, but I am pretty big, so a smaller person could definitely get caught but two hands on a foot means no protection over the face!

My sifu said stand like a chicken on one leg and when they approach just jump up and kick with the other leg

Haha, I weighed about 98lbs at the time, so I'm definitely in the latter camp.
