Step by step

1. Start in your stance with both fists up.
2. Turn your rear hip and shoulder forward and lift the rear heel as you punch the rear hand straight out.
3. Turn the fist palm-down at the end, then bring it straight back to your chin.
4. The lead hand stays up guarding your face.

Tip: The power comes from the turn of the back foot and hip, not from the arm.

Go easy: Keep the elbow soft at the end of each punch, never snapped straight, and bring the hand straight back to your chin.
