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.
