Hi, my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center and today we're going to be showing you the proper way to perform the Cross Back Side Kick. Okay, so you start from the fighting position, okay, now with your rear leg, you want to step behind, keep your body twisted, keep it straight up and down, shift the weight, pick up your front leg, sidekick, pull the leg back and then step back down. Okay, so from here, you want to cross behind, pick up the leg, sidekick and back and down. Okay, and from this angle, so you step back, pick up the leg, sidekick, straight back and down. Okay, then once again, cross behind, pick up the leg, sidekick, back and down. Okay, it's very important when you step, okay, you want to stay sideways, you don't want to try to turn forward. So you want to stay as natural as possible. Cross behind, kick, back and then down. This kick is good for advancing and as an attack or as a defense. Okay, so if I want to attack with it, I can fake high, cross back, see now there's an opening, kick straight to the ribs. Okay. Or as a defense, so he could sidekick at me, okay, so sidekick, cross behind, kick to the rear leg. That's the proper way to perform Cross Back Side Kick.
