It is of utmost importance to protect your groin when pushing an opponent, a safety rule surprisingly even some masters neglect!

You can effect a frontal push by rolling your front leg forward, or stepping your back leg forward. In either case, besides covering an opponent?s hands so that he may not strike you, it is very important to cover his front leg too so that he may not kick at your groin. It is indeed surprising that even some masters neglect this safety principle and expose themselves to risky kicks.
