Kung Fu Kicking Techniques : Kung Fu Slide Up Round Kick
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Hello, I'm Sifu Mallon with the Clearwater Kung Fu Center. This is Kung Fu for Health.
We're going to be working on a kick called Slide Up Round Kick. The Slide Up Round Kick
is performed from our fighting stance. Again, the both feet going the same general direction.
Your knees are bent. Your body is loose. The slide up is where your rear foot comes up
to your front foot, turning back, bending the knee, letting the weight shift. As I shift
the weight, I don't want to allow my shoulders to *** back, and lean my head. I want to
try to keep my shoulders pretty plain and level. I'm going to lift my right knee up.
As my knee lifts, my foot tucks toward my butt. I'm trying to keep my knee in line with
the target, and then I'm going to straighten the right leg, and left leg, same time. Extend,
bring the leg back. Step down and back. Again one more time, slow for you. I slide up. Bend
the knee. Shift the weight. Lift the knee, pulling your right foot toward your butt.
Lift, as I extend both legs. Extend and reach. Bring down, and back, normal speed. You can use your right arm as a counterbalance,
to help you with your stability. Meaning as the leg goes, the right arm can pull back.
This is how we perform Round Kick, Kung Fu for Health.
