in reply to the step out............... i can agree that for a beginner, in order for youu to get a feel for a proper thai kick that a step out is a good thing but eventually as you progress you will want to get your power in there without the step out. reason being...... any advanced thai boxer will see your kick coming out a mile away. the step out is a big ass tell tale telegraph saying im going to kick you now. pardon my sarcasm. all i can say is if you watch real thai boxing fights from thailand then you will see that these guys are hardly stepping out. and if they do its not as big or as obvious as a step out. does that make sense?
