How Can I Have More Balance ON my sidekick in taekwondo?

I am an orange belt and basicly need more balance|||1. Turn your %26quot;supporting%26quot; heel to the target direction.


2. Concentrate your weight directed from your hips to the supporting leg, straight to the floor.


3. As my teacher used to say, %26quot;kick like a leaf%26quot;, meaning your bottom should be aligned with the rest of your body (leg, shoulders, back).





Finally, I%26#039;d suggest to start kicking at a low level and increase once your balance comes better and better.





Cheers!|||Do activities that require balance. ride a unicycle, walk on edges of things like a balance bar, etc. you%26#039;ll increase your ability to balance that way. You could also just keep on doing side kicks, but that gets boring after awhile.|||As you kick, make sure you turn your heel (of the leg you%26#039;re standing on) towards your target. Also, get on the balls of your foot as you turn. It%26#039;ll help.|||Practice Won-Hyo,near the end,you stand with your right leg bent and the foot is against left leg,hands in ready position.When kicking,lean into kick.|||start closing your doors with your feet
