- Bend your knee before and after you kick.
- Watch where you are kicking.
Section 2: Skill-building drill (Do three sets)
- Math kicks: You will solve a simple math problem given to you on a flash card and then do front kicks equal to the sum of the math problem. Continue until you solve five problems in a row.

- Hold front leans for 10 seconds – Stand with feet together. Exhale out as you slowly lean forward. Do not reach for your toes, simple let your body hang while stretching your Back, Hamstrings, and Calves.
