Slide in (multiple) Front Snap Kicks with the Top of The Foot

The trick to multiple kicks is not to kick so hard that balance is lost. The kicks should feel light, quick, easy and balanced. Essentially they should feel like nothing at all (unless one is on the receiving end).

Slide in Classic Side Kick

From a Leading Horse I advance my rear foot forward. Tilting my hips, I raise my lead knee upward. Canting my foot down, I drive the outside edge of my heel into my attacker.

Describing this action and doing it are two different things. So is doing it with effort and doing it effortlessly.

The trick is to be able to snap it out effortlessly over and over again. That requires practice which requires discipline which requires passion.

Slide in Roundhouse Kick with the Top of The Foot

As I show, it looks like nothing…Until it lands on the bag.
