Warm Downs
Warm downs begin with one hundred middle target punches thrown in place while in a horse stance. Each punch is fully extended while pulling back the opposite hand with the fist on the belt. Ten front kicks are then executed in place with the right rear leg of a front stance, while maintaining proper balance with the front leg. This is then followed by reversing the front stance and executing ten more front kicks with the left rear leg. Next we move on to ten left side kicks from a horse stance and moving across the studio. Followed by ten right side kicks in the opposite direction.
The end of class ends with some flexibility stretching. This is done when the body is at its warmest. The end of a strenuous workout is an excellent time for flexibility stretching.
