The jump inward crescent kick allows you to use your hips and momentum for maximum effect.
The basic principles of performing an jump inner crescent kick are (from a front stance position):
- Spring up into a jump
- 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
- As you descend, ensure your balance is retained by controlling with the back leg and return your front leg to position
