Kicking Techniques Side Kick |
Side thrust kick tips:
-
Chamber kicking knee toward opposite shoulder.
-
Keep shin of kicking leg parallel to the floor.
-
When you thrust your kicking foot forward, use your thigh muscles, not your knee muscles, to generate power.
-
Push the knee and shin toward the target, not the foot. Since the foot is at the end of the shin, it will hit the target first.
-
When you throw the kick, roll your hips over into the kick.
-
Pull kicking knee back into a re-chamber, do not pull the kicking foot back, it will come back with the knee.
