"Welcome back. In this clip of warrior training we are going to talk about the middle roundhouse kick. The middle roundhouse kick is similar to the leg kick in that it's targeting the floating ribs, the upper cartilage of the floating ribs, utilizing again the tibia, the anterior tibialis, the shin bone, cutting in to this cartilage called the floating ribs. It's the same angle as the leg kick, but the kick is a little higher. This is a middle roundhouse kick for warrior training. And again, one of the key components you want to think about is the rotation or the pivoting of this foot. If I don't pivot this foot, I'm putting a tremendous torque on my knee. So, once again, middle roundhouse kick. Thank you."
