A kick is when you forcibly thrust the foot outward. By definition, a kick uses the foot as the striking surface; therefore, strikes using the skin or knee are not kicks, they are strikes. However, in the martial arts, a kick is commonly defined as striking with any part of the leg.
Kicks are used by most of the martial arts and some specialize in using them. Taekwondo has always been known for is its kicks; its high kicks are one of the things differentiate it from other martial arts.
