Then, skip into your switch, bringing your lead foot back and your rear foot forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make sure to keep your weight on the balls of your feet. Immediately after switching your stance, explode up onto the ball of your lead foot and turn into your kick, swinging your lead arm down and rotating your hip. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When switching your stance, swing your rear arm down and swing your lead arm up, across your body. This helps you load torque, to be used to power your kick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Muay Thai: How To Throw A Switch Kick | Evolve University\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ufL-zthVMTk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><b>Nong-O demonstrates how to throw a switch kick in Muay Thai<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Evolve Mixed Martial Arts is Asia\u2019s top martial arts organization.
