As you step, the front leg has to pivot; that way you don't hurt your knee, now the back leg is set up for that kick. You have to use your hips, the whole body rotates into that bag so the pivoting on that foot o.k. One more time. So you take the front leg, step over to the side; also think that this is a person with arms and legs, you want to get out of the way so he can't hit you o.k. So that's why you also got to take a step out of the way; back leg is already set up for that kick just pivot your whole body, make sure that foot turns and come back o.k. The power sits in the hip; it's not just the leg so we want to use our hips, the faster you can turn them over the more power that kick is going to have; o.k.
