Welcome back to Powerhouse Kickboxing. Today, we're going to talk about side kick, practical side kicks. I'll how you two practical side kicks and how to build them.
Now I'm going to show you how to build powerful side kick. It's all about butt and your hands. You need to use your butt and your leg and you kick also these muscles this angle. So stay by the back or wall so it can called on and lift your knees, grab it first and turn your foot, see your butt into the direction when you're going to kick.
Very important part right now, see your foot. Foot line, straight also aim at the target. Your butt, also look at the target and try to get your knee as close as possible to your chest. So your arm is here and you look over your shoulder. So from this position just stay and extend in the one straight line. So you try to use this two angles, open them at the same time. Don't do it this way. If you stay in your side like this, it's not possible. First of all, you can't get your leg close enough to your body so you can get speed.
What it means, if I stay to my target with my side like this and try to kick him. See, I cannot kick closest and this distance is not possible because joints will be on the way and also you won't get any speed and power. So what I mean, you have to turn little bit your butt to this side. If this is the target, your butt is looking this way. So when you lift your knee and turn your butt, see, it's like all joints open toward the target. So I can kick from vertical distance. One more time, see one, two, three.
This way, you use a lot of leg muscle and when you open up to joints, your shin and your hip. See, you release in a lot of energy and all weight behind it. So again, don't use straight, joints it's not its wrong for your joints. Stay aside, lift your butt, lift your butt like kind of I said perky butt. So you need to lift it up as otherwise you can't kick up. Your joints won't let you. One more time one, two, three.
Another thing to watch when you do spinning side kick is how you align your body because common mistakes with spinning side kick when you attack and kick, so you turn your body all the way here and if your momentum is pulling you around, so you just kind of instead of going through the target, you kind of just graze it or like it's very motion kick, it's not very powerful.
So again, when you attack, try to keep your body, if you stop rotation, you go through the target. Again from here, instead of going like this, see some people just yet try to turn their body too quickly over here and their momentum is pulling them back. So you need to get through the target. So see, your butt is going through.
Another exercise, try to keep to do multiple side kicks. So lift your knee. You can do, get into the final position of your side kick. Again, see try to keep your body position. See my stomach is looking down. It's not like this because you can't whole balance or do multiple kicks. And also joints won't let you as I said before, get close I mean like you see my foot is on the same line as my butt. See, if trying to go like this, it's not possible and turn it around. So again, lift your leg up and we're going to go one.
Try to do it like, starting with just two or three kicks and go to the ten. You go one, two, three, keeping your balance. One more time, go to the position and go one, two, three, four.
