When holding focus mitts, keep your wrists straight and your elbows slightly bent to absorb the impact safely. Always present a stable target by engaging your core and meeting the punch with controlled resistance.
Find the center of the belt and place it on your belly, wrap both ends tightly around your waist twice (or once for longer belts) so the ends meet in front. Cross the right end over the left, tuck it up under both layers and pull tight, then make a simple square knot — left over right, then right over left — and cinch until snug.

Get ready to blast your opponent’s lead leg with a sneaky, hip-powered back-side low kick plant your lead foot, chamber that rear knee, then whip your hips and spin your standing foot so your shin rips into the thigh or calf like a rocket. Keep your hands up, snap the kick back to stay balanced, and follow with a cheeky punch or step-in to make the move look as smooth as it feels.
