Instructions

  1. Stand in a split stance with one leg slightly behind your body. Raise your hands in front of your face in a fighting position.
  2. Keeping your weight on your front leg, lift your back knee up and in front of you while bringing your opposite elbow to your knee. Touch your elbow to your knee, pause, and return to the starting position.

Tips

  • Be sure to raise your striking knee as high as you can.
  • Try not to lean your upper body too far forward. Keep your chest up at all times.
