"Hi, I am Katie Bowers with Expert Village and we are doing some Kick Boxing moves. This next one I am going to show you is the back push kick. Now if you just saw the one before, the side push kick, you will see what I meant before by putting your arms across your body and why that is so important and so key. Because when I kick back I am not directly kicking behind me I am really doing a side push kick which is going to basically pivot to the diagonal. So that is really all your back push kick is: the side push kick shifted. So when I prep to do a back push kick, and I am going to do a march in between, is look over that shoulder. There may not be multiple people, most of us will just being doing this by ourselves in our home, but still you do not want to knock over a lamp or something so watch where you are kicking that foot and when I march in between then on the other leg. You can feel this right away in your abs, this is already killing me. And we can do this and combine them with another punch or another kick. That is totally up to you but you can pretty much do these as a good central kick pose or kick punch. So these are basically the good types of transitional kick boxing moves that you can do. A march a side push kick, or a march back push kick or march front punch kick. But that march will enable you to kind of go and transition into each one."
