The filtrum. Legend has it that when babies are in heaven waiting to be born they don't have one, when it's time for them to be born the angles push them out of heaven with one finger above their lip which erases all memory of their time in heaven leaving an indentation called the filtrum.

It's called a 'Filtrum' and is shaped like it is because it is almost the very last part of you to form when you are in the womb. This is where the very last cells meet to give you your top lip.
Cleft Palate kids have something go wrong with this last process and can unfortunately be born with this part missing - including the roof of the mouth. It can take extensive surgery to correct and in some cases cannot even be attempted.
It is wrong to think that this developed as a 'channel' for nose liquid, though I guess it is as good a job as any for it!

It's called the Filtrum, and it's purpose is to capture and channel pheronomes directly to the nostrils .
In mammals and reptiles, pheromones may be detected by the vomeronasal organ, or Jacobson's organ, which lies between the nose and mouth, although some are detected by regular olfactory membranes.
When we kiss someone, pheronomes waft up the filtrum and into our nostrils, to the Jacobson's organ ( near the septum) inciting a chemical reaction.
Or not...if we don't like the person we're kissing.
Our physiology is just as responsive to chemical messages as that of other mammals. It is known that certain chemical messages from other mice lead to the onset of puberty in young males, while a different set of signals brings young female mice into estrus. Similarly, there are some suggestions that women may alter their hormonal cycles when exposed to chemical signals from other people.

yes the front kick under the chin is like an uppercut on steriods... be sure to pull your toes back and drive the ball of your foot vertically through the intended target.... that being said, it will be difficult to land on a trained fighter, and if you have developed that kind of power at that height.... its probably a bad idea to go for it when sparring... no good can come from it... you can seriously hurt your opponent, but if they are trianed with leg kicks and takedowns, the more probably outcome will be you on the ground.... the front kick in TKD or Karate, is a great set up kick... to draw down blocks.... after your opponent has routinely blocked a couple... fake a front kick, and rotate around their down block with a roundhouse or cresent kick to the head (depending on which leg kick, and what hand they are blocking with.... head kicks must be used seldomly, and set up properly.... but it is fun to spar feet only, to get good training to use these tools... so is boxing to work on your hands only, then trying to put it all together is the hard part for everyone.... so most people will just keep the kicks simple, as to not take many risks... good luck
