7 Ways To Impove your Bencao (Forward Thrust) Kick in Capoeira

7 Ways to Improve your Bencao (Forward Thrust Kick) in Capoeira

1.       Start from a great stance.

2.       Bring your KNEE up first, not out like a soccer kick.

3.       Make sure both of your hands counter balance to the kicking leg side. That does not mean throw both hands that way, but working together to counterbalance.  

4.       Bend your bottom knee slightly.

5.       Push your hips through the vertical plane.

6.       Kick through the target, not to the target.

7.       Return to a great stance as soon as possible in order to be ready for your next movement, whether that be offensive or defensive in nature.
