How to do it

  1. Stand in a fighting stance with your guard up.
  2. Lift your kicking knee up and across your body, pivot on your standing foot, and drive your heel straight out to the side, pushing through an imaginary target.
  3. Snap the leg back to the chambered position before setting it down.
  4. The chamber is what separates a side kick from a leg swing - knee up first, kick second, every single time.
