Instructions

Allow about 2/3 of the body weight on the front hand and foot. Initiate the punch step immediately following the raising of the hips and left arm.  Punch the knee forward and strike the toe directly below the hip while forcefully striking the left arm forward. The head should remain down and the arms and legs should engage simultaneously. A good punch step is about 2/3 the distance of a normal sprint stride and should not allow the toe to strike in front of the body. Common Error is taking too large of a punch step and not using the arm effectively.
