"Hello! My name is Sid Nelson, master instructor in Martial Arts. I'm representing expertvillage.com. The first punch I'll be demonstrating is called a lunge punch. With a lunge punch, you'll be stepping while you're punching. Keep in mind, you want to pull the other arm back to the belt. When we step, we want to keep in mind that there's going to be some timing between our foot and our punch. When we step, we want to wait until our step is right ready to touch and make contact with the floor before we throw the punch. So when I take the step I want to wait until the step is just ready to touch and then pull the arms in a straight line. If I go backwards, same thing applies. Keep the arms close to the ribs. As you step back, wait with the arms until the foot is ready to make contact with the floor and then punch. Again, the yell helps tighten up the muscles when it makes impact on the target. It helps build energy and adrenalin in the class. Showing energy is a way to stay confident in self-defense."
