"Okay, so we're moving on to our last combination, where this is building on to the one we did before. So, we're adding a side kick after that hook. Okay, so we get into our stance, hands are up. Basic stance, stagger, feet hip length apart. You're going to step in turn those hips, strike with your first two knuckles, jab, cross, slip, slip, hook. Now you're already set up for the side kick. The leg is already here. So you just turn those toes a little bit, lean away from your opponent, strike with that side kick, come back to your position right here. Always keep your guard up, never think that you're done until you know for sure. Never turn your back on an opponent, you don't know what he's going to do. Okay, so again, we're going to do it a little slower, jab, cross, slip, slip, turn those hips, for a hook make sure you turn that foot properly, side kick. Take a step away from your opponent. Keep your eyes on him. And back to original position. Okay we're going to speed it up, just a little bit more, medium speed. Step it to the target, one, two, slip, slip, hook, kick. Make sure that side kick is with your heel and not with your toe. So you've got to turn that butt like we worked on before. Okay, one more time, jab, cross, slip, slip, hook, turn, full power side kick. I'm going to do it one more time, full power. Step in, jab cross, slip slip, hook, kick. Come back to original position. Okay, I hope you guys had a great workout. And we started from the basic up to the more advanced. Take these techniques and learn them. Repeat them often. Go back to basics if you need to. You can play around with them, add stuff, change them around, have fun with it and I hope you come back to see me in a different show. We're going to do some more stuff and have a great workout. Thank you so much."
