FRONT SNAP KICKS OFF FRONT FEET

Assume a right-rear Forward Stance — you will now be throwing front snap kicks off your front foot (your left). This may seem hard at first, but it is easy. Pull your left knee up and assume the position in fig. ssss1. You have lifted your left foot and assumed the standard front snap kick cocked position. Now throw the front snap kick and replant your left foot in the Forward Stance position. Practice this motion until it feels comfortable, and then try it from a left-rear Forward Stance. Your fists should remain clenched at your hips and you should try to keep your form as perfect as possible.

INWARD BLOCK AND FRONT SNAP KICK

Stand in a right-rear Forward Stance, fists clenched and resting on your hip bones. Throw a right inward block and follow it with a snap kick off your right (rear) foot as you pull your fist back to your side.

Practice this block and kick motion in all possible combinations (kicking off the front and rear feet from both right- and left-rear stances) but remember, if you block with your right arm, you must kick with your right foot, and alternately if you block with your left arm you must kick with your left foot.
