Keeping your balance for kicks is paramount. We do something called a "turret drill" to practice our balance for kicks. Basically, a person circles around you with a bag, while your stay in one position, as the person circles you, they change heights and distance. When they stop, you kick, resetting into front stance after every kick. We have to determine which kick would be best to reach and attack the fastest. My first attempt I actually fell over, because I was not going into a "cat stance." That drill taught me the importance of going into "Cat Stance" for kicks.
@@JoBu-n3k It's a great kicking balance drill. Cause you don't get stuck into the motions of the same kick over and over letting you cheat by only keeping a single balanced position, it makes you think and shift balance on the fly. It's greatly improved my balance and reaction timing to kicks and forced me to do proper technique in order to succeed.
