Hello I'm Sifu Mallon with the Clearwater Kung Fu Center. This is kick boxing. This
is my assistant, Melissa and we are working on developing our push-ups. So the next one
we are going to be working on is called our push up hold and this is a full body hold
and to begin this Melissa is going to go ahead and lay flat on to her stomach. Now the feet
are close together and we are curling the toes underneath us so pushing the foot down
here. The elbows are slightly pointing back. The hands, your fingers, are pointing underneath
your shoulder blade so we don't want the hands in front by the head but more toward the shoulder.
We want to keep your abdominal area nice and tight so you want to squeeze your belly button
lifting up and tightening your core. Melissa is going to take a nice deep breath in and
exhale and push herself up. Good. Now you'll see as she pushes herself up the body is straight
through here and we don't want to allow the hips to push up too high like pushing your
butt up or we don't want to allow the hips to sit down this way letting the butt drop.
We want to feel your lower back and your core night and tight through this area, shoulders
are pushing and we are breathing in through the nose and out through the nose. Very good
Melissa. This is how we hold push up position for kick boxing.
