Such a simple yet awesome kick. Much more difficult to pull off than it looks.

It was invented by Steven Seagal

Machida vs Couture and vs Belfort spring to mind immediately.

Machida vs Couture and vs Belfort spring to mind immediately.

Anderson vs Belfort too. Maybe the Couture one should be called crane kick or scissor front kick. When you throw one knee / kick before hitting with the other it's called scissor __ kick/knee because of how the motion looks.

I remember back when people insisted that the front snap kick was worthless as a combat technique.
