How to "Switch Kick": Lead-Leg Roundhouse Kick

When starting Muay Thai or kickboxing classes, many people have trouble with the lead leg roundhouse kick (or "switch kick"). Just know that's normal, as your non-dominant leg usually has less dexterity -- for most of us, that's our left leg. All this means is that you need to practice more with that leg! Some key points when doing this technique:

1. Arm Swing: assist in the rotation of your hips and shoulders by correctly swinging your arms
2. Pivot on Ball of Foot: when kicking to the body or head, rise up onto the ball of your foot as you pivot your toes away from your target
3. Upper Body Tall: don't lean back when you do this; keep your head over your support leg
