Kicks Leg Bent
On the forearms and one knee, the working leg starts straight back with the toes down, then bends and drives the heel toward the ceiling.
How to do it
Setup
On the forearms and one knee, the working leg straight behind with the toes on the floor.
Steps
- Bend the knee and drive the heel up until the thigh lines up with the back.
- Squeeze the glute for a beat at the top.
- Straighten the leg back to the floor; switch after the set.
Common mistakes
Arching the lower back to kick higher: the thigh stops level with the back. Hips rolling open toward the kicking side: keep them square. Rushing the kicks: slow up, a beat at the top, slow down.
Breathing
Exhale pushing back, inhale returning.
