Step 5, instead of stepping back here, we're going to lean onto our left hand, throw all our body weight here and we're going to kick out with our left leg. Kick. Now from here, we're just going to bring our leg right in. Back to step 1. Try that again. 6 step position. You're going to go 1, 2, 3, hook and switch, 4.
