Hi, my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center. And today, we're going to be showing you how to perform the Slide Up Round Kick. Okay, so you want to start this kick from a fighting position, okay, now with your back foot, you want to take a small step, you want to pick up your front leg with the toes pointed down. Okay, your leg's going to come around like a slap, you're going to kick straight out, bring the leg back, step back in and backwards. So you're here, step up, pick up the foot, toes pointed down, slap the foot out, come straight back, in and then down. Okay, from this angle, okay, so you step up, keep the body steady, pick up the foot, notice the toes are down, and you're going to kick straight out to the side, bring the foot back and down. Okay, it's very important with this kick, your kicking with the top of the foot, where the shoelace area. Okay, now this kick, is like a slap. Okay, you can it either to attack or you can use it as defense. So if I want to attack, I could just step up and try to kick to the side of the head, this way, okay. You can even use it and kick low, you can kick to the knee joint here, okay, same thing. Okay, as a defense, if he punches with his front hand, okay, you can come this way, step up, you can kick straight to the back or to the back of the head or even if he punches with the opposite hand, okay, you can come here and you can grab and pull, step up, kick straight to the ribs or the chest. And that's the proper way to perform a Slide Up Round Kick.
