    Stand facing sideways with your feet together.

  2. Step 2

    Place your hands in a defensive position in the direction you are going to kick.

  3. Step 3

    Still facing sideways, step forward with your front foot then step with your back foot.

  4. Step 4

    Squat halfway down and jump up bringing the front knee into your torso, then extend into a straight leg position with a flexed foot.

  5. Step 5

    Quickly bring your knee back in and land on both feet.
