Front-Kick Walking Vertical Hand

Walking Front Kick with Vertical Hands

Starting Position:
1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Keep your arms bent at a 90-degree angle and positioned in front of your chest with your palms facing inward (this is the "vertical hands" position).

Movement Instructions:
1. Begin walking forward, taking small, controlled steps. Maintain a steady pace.
2. As you step forward with your right foot, simultaneously lift your left leg and kick it forward, keeping it straight. Aim to kick to about hip height.
3. Lower your left leg back down and return your foot to the ground in the initial standing position.
4. Repeat the same movement on the other side: step forward with your left foot and kick forward with your right leg.
5. Continue alternating sides, kicking forward with each step.
6. Focus on engaging your core and maintaining good posture throughout the movement.

Tips for Beginners:
- Start slowly to ensure you maintain balance and control.
- If kicking to hip height is difficult, begin with a lower kick and gradually increase the height as you gain confidence.
- Pay attention to your breathing; inhale as you step and exhale as you kick.
- Ensure your knees are slightly bent while standing and walking to absorb any impact and maintain balance.
