There are many ways to throw a round kick or turning kick... but they all have something in common--the pivot! So, here's a simple drill to help you put a little more power in your pivot.

PIVOT AND DROP. Take your stance, then pivot on the ball of your foot. That's it! Just set it down and do it again. Don't throw the kick yet, just focus on how you set up the kick and how you use your core.

ADD A POP. Same move but with more power. Try to pivot a full 180 degrees on each rep. You can either leading or chamber with the knee or just throw the hip by itself.

TRY A HOP. Start with your toes forward, then BAM... turn explosively to face them backward. Don't jump up too high... stay as close to the ground as possible.

LEG UP AND STOP. Try the same drill but keep your leg in the air the whole time. This will really challenge your balance.

LEG UP NO STOP. Now try to keep pivoting without stopping. This is not easy!

SQUAT AND JUMP. Last one. Squat down in your stance and jump forward as you pivot. This will really develop the connection between your back foot and the floor to help you drive your hip into the round kick.

That's it! Oh... don't forget to do all of that with BOTH legs! Happy kicking! :)
