Hi, my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center and today we're going to be showing you the proper Crossover Side Kick. So, from the fighting position, okay, you want to crossover with your rear leg, cross in front. Okay, now it's very important, you don't want to turn your body forward, you want to stay sideways as much as possible. So, crossover, okay, now, your front leg, which is now your rear leg, pick up the foot, kick straight out, and then in and down. Okay. You can also perform this kick as you crossover and you kick, you can pull the arm down for added balance or also as a block. So, you're here, so you crossover, pick up the leg, kick. Or you're here, you crossover, pick up the leg, swing the arm back, in and then down. Okay, from this angle. So, he crosses over, okay, keep the body twisted, okay, head up, you want to look where you're going, okay, you don't want to be squared this way cause this makes you an open target. So you're here, okay, now he picks up the leg, kick straight out, straight back in and then down. Okay. This kick is mainly for advancing. So, common application would be either just to attack, so I can simply move in this way like I can fake high, okay, then kick at the target. Or also, he can sidekick at me. So, he can kick, I can crossover and I can kick well to the rear leg. That's the proper way to perform the Crossover Side Kick.
