Leading Leg Swing Kick

 
The "weapon" used in this technique is the instep of the foot. The target for this technique is the opponents leg or lower torso area.  

Starting from side stance....

Picture 1

Keeping your hands in the defensive guard position, rotate your hips back draw your leading leg along the ground parallel with your rear leg (keeping the distance shoulder width apart).

Tuck your heel in towards the back of your thigh
(referred as the 'chamber' position).

Picture 2
Pivot on the ball of your rear foot, push your hips forwards and towards the attacker whilst retaining your leading leg
(Known as the Pre-stretch position).
Picture 3
At the optimum point where your hip has opened up, release your leg and allow it to accelerate towards the target. The trajectory should be angled diagonally upwards to achieve maximum effect. Picture 4

Your rear supporting foot should now be fully pivoted so that the toes are pointing away from the attacker and your heel is lifted off the ground.

Contact is made using the instep of your foot.

Picture 5
Continue to follow through the kick past the target allowing the energy of the kick to be dissipated. Picture 6
Finally relaxing your leg back in a circular movement and controlling it back to a stable front stance. Picture 7
