2) Using this momentum, jump fully up and kick your right leg out in front of you. Bring your left leg down and land on the balls of your foot.

3) Now, bring your right leg down and shift the weight to your right leg.

4) Step back with the left leg. As you do this, punch downwards with your left arm. You should be in a lunge position with the left heel raise.
