Falling Step Drill

Stand in your on Guard Position with arms loosely
on the sides. But this time bend your body forward
slightly as you shift your 'weight forward onto your
lead foot, so that your rear foot is resting lightly on
the ball of the foot. Remember that the knees are still
slightly bent. Now without preliminary movement
take a quick long step with your lead foot and land
heel first. Let the body weight fall forward. The lead
foot should land flat at the end of the movement. (See
Picture 24 below)

Try the
falling step
many times.
Make sure,
that each
time you
start from a
comfortably
balanced
position that
the body-
weight is
resting
largely on
the lead leg,
that the
knees are
slightly bent,
that the
arms are at
your side,
and that you
make no
preliminary
movement
with the
right foot.
