Draw your left arm up to the inward block cocked position (fig. ssss1), throw the block, and upon its completion, a right reverse punch (pulling your left fist back to your hip).

Cock once again for a right inward block, throw it and then another left reverse punch.

Practice this sequence until you can perform it with some speed.

THE FRONT SNAP KICK

Stand with feet together and hands down at your sides. Draw your right knee up directly in front of you, toes bent back as in fig. ssss1. Now, swing your foot out to approximately knee height (fig. ssss1), return to the position in fig. ssss1 and replant your foot on the floor. Repeat the motion quickly and powerfully with your right foot kicking to knee height. Once your knee is raised, your foot should snap out to the focal point and whip back so that an attacker could not grab it.

It is important to note that you kick with the ball of your foot and not your toes. The ball is located just behind the toes and is tough.

Now raise your left knee to the position in fig. ssss1 and extend to the knee-height position (fig. ssss1) as you did with the right snap. Pull it back and place your foot on the floor. Now kick with the same whipping motion that you used for your right kick.
