How to practice the kicks?

There are many ways of practicing slow kicks, the first one is the front kick, it is always recommended to practice it bare foot. You can take a support from a chair, table or a horizontal iron rod for the initial practises. Further on, move you knee up to your solar plexus and your face of the foot bending downwards.

After staying in this position for a while, turn out the foot by approximately 45 degrees and straighten it slowly. As you are finishing the kick imagine hitting an object with full face of your foot, try generating a lot of power just while you are finishing it. Make 10-15 reps with each leg and after a week try and get rid of the support chair or table as well.
