After your hands are separated, your wrists should be flush with your shoulders and your legs should be up and down relative to your ipsilateral arms. When kicking, the toes should be hooked back and the force reaches the heel.

Progress is the heel landing first, and retrogression is the forefoot landing first. It should be noted that the lateral distance between the left and right feet and the stability of the body center of gravity in the transformation.
Leg methods include kicking, chopping, patting, kicking, shaking, throwing lotus feet and so on. All kinds of leg techniques require the legs to be stable and straight, and the knees should not be stiff. Don't bow your head when you practice patting your legs. When you swing your lotus legs, be careful not to swing your body from side to side.
Be careful of muscle and bone sprains when practicing.
When the waist and legs are strong, the kicking is relatively high, the standing legs are stable and the waist is straight, the right kicking (or left and right kicking) will be improved a lot.
