Right Front Kick;
1. Assume Zenkutsu Dachi with both arms extended down at your side approximately 10 inches away from your body with your fingers extended and joined.
2. Slightly shift your weight to your left leg and raise your right leg so your heel is along side of your left leg. Your thigh and foot are parallel to the floor. (This is your cocked position).
3. To execute your kick, push the ball of your foot forward until your knee locks and your leg is in line with your thigh. Your left knee remained in position.
4. To recover, go back to your cocked position and then back to Zenkutsu dachi.
5. Reverse procedure for left front kick.
NOTE: Striking point is the ball of your foot. Keep your ankle locked forward in line
with your leg. Knee is locked for shock effect and upper body is straight.
