Technique Breakdown – Roundhouse Kick

To throw a perfect roundhouse kick:

1. Stance – Start in a stable stance with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and your body weight evenly distributed.

2. Chamber – Lift your knee up and across your body towards your chest, rotating your hips inward.

3. Extension – Extend your leg fully, aiming your foot at your target. Rotate your hips and pivot on the supporting foot to generate power.

4. Contact – Strike with the top of your foot or shin, depending on the target. Aim to make contact with the lower part of your shin for maximum impact.

5. Recoil – Quickly retract your leg back to the starting position to maintain balance and readiness for follow-up strikes or defensive maneuvers.

6. Practice – Repeat the motion slowly and gradually increase speed and power as you become more comfortable with the technique. Consistent practice will help refine your form and timing.

Remember to engage your core muscles throughout the movement for stability and power, and always aim to maintain proper balance and control.
