Technique

  1. Stand in your guard with your hands up and your weight spread over both feet.
  2. Combine punches with kicks. For a round kick, pivot on the standing foot, turn your hip over and strike with the shin.
  3. Return your leg to your stance and your hands to your guard after each strike.

Form tips

  1. Keep your hands up while you kick.
  2. Power comes from turning the hips, not from the arm or leg alone.

Risks

  1. Warm up your hips and hamstrings before kicking high, and build up power on a bag gradually.
