  • Make sure to pivot on the standing foot when performing middle side piercing kick from bending ready stance.
  • Hold your hand in circular block when performing the low section front snap kicks.
  • After the side piercing kick in movement #26, place the ball of the right foot in line with the heel of the left foot, and one shoulder width away.
