The inward crescent kick allows for a lot of power to be generated by means of the hip movement used with performing the kick.
The basic principles of performing an inner crescent kick are (from a front stance position):
- Bring through and raise the back leg up to full height at an angle away from the target
- As the leg moves up closer to the top of the peak, twist the hip and move the kicking leg in a circular motion to connect with the target
- Upon connecting with the target, control the leg back down to the ground
