Kicking

Okay, now that you already learned about punching and rising block. We're going to be learning about kicking. It's going to be much different than you probably thought kicking's going to be easy this time it's different. Okay get into you're front stance (bending your front knee) with your left leg forward. Now you're going to lift the right to the chest and then kick in the middle of the air. (Pretend there's a person there in front of you and you're going to be kicking them in the chest.) After kicking in the air, start practising with your other the leg the same thing I told you. Remember don't kick if you're not in you're front stance you're going to have someone have the higher advantage of hurting you.

Punching Basics

Now I'm going to show you how to do punching, read closely. Make your hands into a ball, remember keep your thumbs over your fingers and don't put your thumbs under fingers. Stretch out your right hand in the centre (knuckles in front) and pretend you're doing a punching bag, take your left hand close to your side (beside your ribs.) Now you're going move that left hand, you're going to rotate that wrist to the centre and then get your other hand to your side. Repeat the process and practice those moves. You can use those punches to hit the face and the chest. Remember that!
