Step 2 – Explain the Rules:
The instructor will have the student stand in between the 2 wavemasters.
When the instructor calls out a direction either right or left the student must quickly sidekick the correct pad as fast as they can.
The student is aiming to do 5 kicks in a row without being tricked by the instructor.
If the student can do it without being tricked by the instructor, then the instructor must do 5 push-ups.

Eyes open so you know when to hit the pad.
Knee up so you can hit the pad quickly.
Kick fast so that you practice hitting the pads before they hit the ground.
