MB Free Sparring Footwork

In this section, we will spend 15 minutes working on free sparring footwork, and two basic footwork drills.

BD 40 Second Kicking Practise

Here’s a quick drill I do when I find myself with a quiet moment before class. Doing this once a week for a year is better than doing it 50x, once.

BD Balance After Kicks

Retaining balance before and during kicking is usually not a problem. Here’s a tip for doing the same after kicking – bring the kicking foot back under the body without delay. This returns the centre of mass closer to the centre of balance.

BD Leaning Over To Kick Higher

A key element of kicking higher is leaning over. By dropping the body the leg raises higher. Start low and experiment with leaning more and more. Add this to your flexibility training and you will see higher kicks.

MB Online Class Kicks #3

In this session we cover consecutive and combination kicks, and we encourage you to create and practise your own double, triple, consecutive and combination kicks – particularly using kicks from your own syllubus and below.
