Te Chiang (Diagonal Roundhouse Kick)

  1. 01

    Step the lead foot diagonally outward at a 45-degree angle, rising onto the ball of the foot.

  2. 02

    Rotate the hips into the strike, driving the rear shin upward across a 45-degree diagonal vector.

  3. 03

    Swing the rear arm down alongside the kicking leg to create counter-rotational force while keeping the lead glove pinned against the temple.

  4. 04

    Turn the hips over at impact so the shin bone strikes through the opponent's ribs, body, or neck.

  5. 05

    Follow through with full momentum, using full-body axial rotation to power the kick.
