Hi, my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center. Today, we're going to be showing you how to perform the Spin Outside Crescent Kick. Okay, so with this kick, you want to start in a sideways manner in a Fighting Stance, okay, you could take a step, turn, you want to stick out the hand and kick. Okay, so once again. So you're here, take a step, turn, kick. Okay, so there's a few important steps. Okay, once you step over, okay, this foot has to pivot turn in, okay, from there, you shift the weight back as you want to turn and look where you're going to be kicking and stick out the hand. This is where you can pick up the leg and kick outwards to the hand. So you're here, turn, stick out the hand, spin around and then straight back. Okay, so from this angle. So you're here, step, turn, kick. Okay, once again; step, turn, kick. It's very important that when you step and do the turn, okay, you want your hand in line with shoulders. You don't want to be over here and you don't want to be way back here, you want to be in a straight line. Okay, and this kick is good in a few different ways. Okay, so if I was fighting, he blocks my leg, he blocks it over this way or that way, either way, okay, you could step around, okay, now he's coming in with a punch, you can kick straight over or you can block. Okay, so once again. So if I kick, you can block, turn, follow up. That's the proper way to perform the Spin Outside Crescent Kick.
