Thrust kicking leg to side by
turning
hip to target. Toes of kicking foot
should be pointing slightly down and heel of supporting foot
facing target. |
Retract hip and kicking leg to
intermediate position |

Note that two positions before the
kick are identical to two positions after the kick (1 & 6), (3 & 5).
