1. Wall-Assisted Round Kick
Posture
Try to only use your hand to balance yourself, not to support you entirely. You still want to be standing up tall, not using your chest to lean back and cheating your way to a higher kick.
Base foot (non-kicking) should have toes pointed 180 degrees away from the target (or you can think of this as heel facing the target).
Spotting
Eyes looking straight ahead where your target would be. This will help with making sure all your kicks are on target as well as helping orient yourself once you start adding jumps and rotations and longer combos.
Chamber
Engage your hip and core, don’t lean back with your chest. Knee pointed at the target. Whatever direction your knee points, the rest of your kick will follow.
Your knee should be in this position for the entirety of the kick until you have rechambered. Don't let your hip collapse - hold this position!
Lockout
Snap out the kick and reach as far as you can with your toes. Variate your speed by snapping your kick out fast in some reps and controlling it nice and slow in other reps for full control.
Re-Chamber
Back to the same position as your initial chamber. Make sure you rechamber before putting your foot down.
Toe Point
Pointing your toes will make your lines more distinct and make your all your tricks look sharper.
All these notes on positioning apply to all following drills, whether supported or free standing.
2. Front Leg Round Kick
Basically the same as Wall-Assisted Round Kick, but without the support of the wall. Focus on keeping your posture the same by engaging your core and spotting forward without sacrificing the actual kick.
3. Rear Leg Round Kick
Start off by rotating the base foot out towards your DOM. Then turn the hips over and chamber your foot to the position you were in for the Front Leg Round Kick. As the kick extends, your base foot should turn all the way over facing away from your target. This is now your basic round kick!
4. Rear Leg Round Kick (Spinout)
Building off of the Rear Leg Round Kick, we are going to add a spin out at the end of the kick. Focus on kicking THROUGH your invisible target and getting your hips to spin out. Always re-spot the target with your eyes after you have finished spinning out.
5. Pop Round Kick
Push off both feet and use your arms to turn your body. Once your hips are turned over, do your round kick towards the target. Focus on posture and hip turnover.
5. Jump Round Kick
Chamber your non-kicking leg UP and use your arms to get you to set. Turn your hips over as you hit the peak of your jump and do a round kick.
