The question is whether you lean backward or push your hips forward for a front kick. Typically learning the front kick in a hard style class, we start with the front kick with the chambered knee, snap the kick out and back, and return the leg back to acquire the original stance again. This doesn't very clearly show the compression of the body for short range kicks, or the expansion of the body for long range kicks.
