There are two ways to kick in Ghost of Tsushima. The main way is unlocked with Wind Stance. Once you get access to this combat stance, you’ll unlock the Typhoon Kick, performed by holding Triangle down. It’s a great move that can be used to send enemies flying (including off cliffs if you’re feeling particularly mean). However, to unlock Wind Stance you’ll first need to fight or observe a lot of Mongol Leaders.

Before you unlock Wind Stance, however, there is another way to kick in Ghost of Tsushima. It’s far less effective than the Typhoon Kick, but if you jump at an enemy with X and then hit Triangle (heavy attack), you’ll perform a kick move as shown in the above image. It’s pretty weak and won’t hit many enemies off edges, but it looks really cool and is a good move to mix in the middle of the rest of your combat. To restate that, hit X, then triangle to do a jump kick. Be aware that if you spam this move, enemies will adapt and begin throwing you away whenever you use it on them.
