- 5x both legs – Three level round kicks + in the end hook kick
NOTE:
- Round kick: 1. Knee straight up towards the target 2. Turning your base leg and hips to the side. 3. Kick to the target.
- Try to turn your hip facing straight to the side during the moment when your round kick or hook kick hits the imaginary target.
- Keep your heel on the ground during your leg throws and kicks.
- When round kick and hook kick hits the target, following body parts should be aligned: Ankle, knee, hip and shoulder.
- Remember to point your toes during your kicks. In the round kick instep hits the target, in hook heel / sole of your foot.
MOST COMMON MISTAKES:
- Executing the exercises too quickly. Try to perform the kicks slowly, but with clean technique. Only three level round kick + hook kick is performed as fast as possible.
- Tricker tries to kick higher than their own mobility and strength allows them to. Try to find a good height for yourself, where you feel burning feeling in your hip and glutes, but you can still perform the movement in your set in clean manner until the end.
