3. Deliver 4 explosive punches to the the stomach, the chin, the lower jaw or the chest. Quickly return the fist to the starting position, and prepare for the stomp kick.

Using your hips, push the stomp kick into your opponent. Make sure you turn the opposite leg slightly to the outside and lean your body slightly back.
