common mistakes

MISTAKE 1: The most serious mistake is incorrect distribution of weight.

SOLUTION: If you throw your foot forward too heavily, you expose your face to the opponent. If you lean back while kicking to move away from the incoming opponent, you fall backward. To avoid these errors, make sure that you use short agile footwork before lifting your foot and stay centered over your kicking leg.

2. Move your feet first to create optimal distance from the opponent and then kick.

• avoid

1. Tilting the torso
