Shift Forward Front Snap Kick with the Instep

This is very similar to what I did yesterday.

Both are done from the same distance and both use the front snap kick.

The main difference is that today I am kicking with the rear leg.

All I have to do is twist my lead foot slightly toward the outside as I raise my rear leg to a kicking position (also known as ‘the front crane’).

I keep my core firm and my weight centered.

The shift forward kick is actually quicker than the slide in kick.

However, I have found that the slide in kick gives a surer sense of balance to me.

Without prejudice
