Let's get some terms straight. Fumikomi is the technique where you raise the foot off the ground and land on it again in sync with the cut.

Actually Neil, I have read fumikomi being described as just the stamping part on the floor, whereas the pushing with the left leg is called fumikiri. As far as I know (which is very little) the raising of the right floor from the ground has no specific name, though I would love to be proven wrong just to clarify this. It would be interesting to know if that motion has a proper name so that we can use it for future debates.
