Hi my name is Linda; we're going to go over some kicks today, martial arts; boxing, it's a little bit of mixed martial arts; we're starting with a stepping front kick and we're going to start with a basic front kick, and moving onto the more advanced kick. O.k. and let's get started with the first kick; first thing we're going to do, get into a staggered stance, the left leg should be a little bit on front; you have the right leg behind you about hip width apart between your legs, now for the hands; o.k. we want to protect our vital organs which is your rib cage and your face. O.k. so your elbows should stay close to you rib cage; your hands are close to your face, should have a nice solid hand position right here that way you can defend anything coming your way. O.k. now the first thing we're going to do; take the back leg, step up to the front leg. Now it's the left leg kicking that is the; the, the front leg right now; you're going to lift that knee up, thrust your hips forward and the back leans back a little bit; and push that bag and come back to the stance o.k. That's the first one; we're going to do it again, stop this bag from moving. So again place your feet on the right position; hands are up, you're going to take that step with the back leg; knee comes up on the front, push that bag and step back into your stance. Now we're going to speed it up a little bit, o.k. So again get back in your position; make sure you have a nice solid stance, do that step up and thrust that hip into the bag; come back into position. O.k. one more time; you're going to take that back leg; step it up, now really push those hips into the bag and step back. Don't move your hands; elbows stay in the whole time. O.k. one last time; put a little bit more force into it so I need a big step, o.k. back leg goes; push it and that is the stepping front kick. O.k. next kick that we're going to move onto; we're adding a hop into it so a little bit more advanced.
