Step 1
Assume the fighter's stance. Put one foot forward and one back, balance your weight on the feet, tuck in your chin and raise your arms in the guard position.
-
Step 2
Fold up your rear leg and raise the knee into position. Thrust the hips forward to put enough power in your kick. Snap the lower leg out toward the target. Keep your toes pulled back and strike with the ball of the foot, the heel or the entire foot.
-
Step 3
Aim for the knees, thighs, groin or mid-section. Bring the leg back into the fold after you hit the target. Replace your leg on the floor and resume the fighter's stance.
-
Step 4
Prepare for the hook kick by pulling in your front knee toward the opposite shoulder. Slightly turn your body towards the front and the rear leg to the outside. Extend the leg and move it towards the target.
-
Step 5
Pivot the supporting leg to the outside more as you kick the leg. Make impact with the heel or the sole of the foot. Deliver the kick to the opponent's head. Retract the leg, return it to the floor and resume the fighter's stance.
