Step behind kicking leg with
other foot, keeping hands in

Move hip forward and lift kicking leg
as high as possible, keeping kicking foot directly under knee.


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

Note that two positions before the kick are identical to two positions after the kick (1 & 6), (3 & 5).
This demonstrates balance and consistency in execution of technique.
