Top Tips
Student: Incoprorate checking kicks into your shadowboxing warm-up. The more you practice the quicker your reactions will be in sparring.
KRY: To avoid a broken foot and cause maximum damage, make sure you land with the middle of your shin when you’re throwing a low kick.
Master: Leg kicks are a good way to finish combinations, as your opponent is not likely to see them coming if they’re covering their head.
