JASON WARREN: Hi. My name is Jason Warren. I am a kickboxing instructor here in Miami Shores at Chi Martial Arts. In this clip, we are going to discuss the kickboxing crescent kick. From my fighting position, I am going to step up with my right foot, my left foot is going to swing around, making a crescent, and then I come back to my fighting position. So one more time. I'm left foot forward. I step forward with my right. It is almost like a wheel kick. But it is called a crescent kick because it actually makes a crescent. It is a great kick for conditioning, increasing the cardio respiratory. For practical self-defense, it is not a great kick. But for conditioning, it is a great kick because it increases your cardio respiratory capacity. So one more time. Left foot forward, right foot, back to fighting position. Often times, you have to go back to fighting position to reload your stance. If not, you are vulnerable to be attacked. So the five important points to remember for the crescent kick. One, you want to start from fighting position. Two, you step forward with your right leg. Three, the kicking leg makes an arc. Four, it drops down, back into fighting position. And then again, you have to reload your stance.
