Are you feeling heavy or off-balance when doing footwork? Most beginners struggle because they move their feet before their hands are ready.
Here is the golden rule for solid foundations:
Hand FIRST, Foot SECOND.
ποΈ The Technique:
β’ The Base: Always stay on your toes and sit on your heels. This is your "Ready Position."
β’ The Sequence: Your hand must hit the floor and take the weight before your leg moves.
β’ The Kick-Out Example:
1. Place your right hand firmly on the ground.
2. Kick your left leg out diagonally to the left.
3. Bring the leg back under your glutes to the basic position (on toes, on heels).
4. Switch hands, once the left hand is down and secure, only then move the right leg.
π‘ Why this matters?
If you move your leg first, you lose your center of gravity. By securing your hand first, you create a tripod of stability that makes your breaking look light and effortless.
Try this during your next practice session!
