Front View


Body in left foot forward front stance and both hands in a guard position.

Shift hand position while moving
your right hip forward

Bend right leg, lifting knee as high
as possible, keeping upper body straight. Pull toes back pointing
ball of foot to target.


Extend kicking foot toward target by pushing hip forward. Let upper body lean back slightly to provide thrust to hip and snap kick forward.

Retract kicking leg to
intermediate position

Return kicking leg
to starting position


 

Note that two positions before the kick are identical to two positions after the kick (1 & 6), (3 & 5).
This demonstrates balance and consistency in execution of technique.
