Kick Ball Change

A kick, then a fast weight swap on the balls of your feet.

How to do it

  1. Kick your right foot forward.
  2. Put the ball of your right foot down just behind you.
  3. Change your weight onto your left.

The thing people get wrong

The '&' is tiny. If it feels rushed, it is right.
