Appearances

Template:Sideicon
Yang, a monk, can use Kick, which deals damage to all enemies, but it does no damage to Flan type monsters. Kick has a Charge Time of 1. In the DS release, any elemental or status effect properties on Yang's claws apply to the kick—if he is using the Ice Claw, the kick will be Ice-elemental, for example. In the DS version, Kick can be obtained as an Augment if he has been given at least one Augment.
Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-
Template:Sideicon Kick is usable by Yang, Monk A and Monk B.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Template:Sideicon Kick returns in the sequel of Final Fantasy IV, and bears the same properties, it has a Charge Time of 4. Yang, Ursula and the Monks A, B and C can use Kick. Uniquely, Kick is classified as an Attack and not a Special Ability, causing the Moon Phases to affect it differently than other special attacks.
Final Fantasy V

Monks can use the Kick command. Unlike most other command abilities, it cannot be learned by leveling up the Monk job, so only Monks have access to the Kick command. Kick deals damage to all enemies as though an unarmed attack had hit all enemies, and the damage of Kick is augmented by Barehanded and Kaiser Knuckles. However, equipped weapons do not add to the power of Kick.

Template:Sideicon Kick Attacks is a passive Trait of the Monk Job. It gives any attack made while fighting hand-to-hand a chance to add kick into the attack.

In addition, the Monk also has the Footwork ability, which makes kicks their primary form of attack.
