-'''Kekomi-geri''', '''thrust kicks''', are variations of the “[[Snap|snap]] kicks” which we have discussed previously. By convention, all thrust kicks have a “-kekomi” suffix, and all snap kicks have a “-keage” suffix. This website breaks from this standard convention since [[Goshin-Jutsu]] relies on snap kicks so heavily that we assume that all kicks are snap kicks unless explicitly stated otherwise.

-Thrust kicks are thrown just like standard [[Front kick|front]], [[Side kick|side]], [[Rear kick|rear]], or [[Stomp kick|stomp kicks]], except that your knee locks at the moment of impact, when your leg is fully extended. This augments the technique’s power, and improves the technique’s ability to cancel an opponent’s forward momentum, or to off-balance them.  This off-balancing aspect is why many other martial arts refer to thrust kicks as “push kicks.” However, we discourage using this name, as it establishes a wrong mindset which leads to a weak technique. Instead, visualize your kick thrusting ''through'' your opponent’s bones, just like breaking down an empty cardboard box to fit it in the recycling bin.

-All thrust kicks strike their targets using your heel. Be aware that this causes thrust kicks to have a slightly shorter range than snap kicks. Your muscle memory will lead you to miss or glance off of your opponent unless you make a serious commitment to padwork and bagwork.
