   • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Keep your arms bent at your elbows and positioned in front of your chest, hands together or in a fist.

2. Curtsey Movement:

   • Step your right leg back and to the left, as if performing a curtsey.

   • Bend both knees as you lower your body towards the floor.

   • Keep your chest up and core engaged.

3. Punching Movement:

   • As you step back into the curtsey, simultaneously extend your left arm forward in a punching motion, keeping your right arm close to your body.

   • Rotate your torso slightly to add power to the punch.

4. Return to Starting Position:

   • Push through your legs and return to the starting position, bringing your right leg back to the center.

   • Bring your arms back to the starting position in front of your chest.

5. Repeat on the Other Side:

6. Breathing:

   • Inhale as you lower into the curtsey and exhale as you punch.

7. Tips:

   • Maintain a balanced posture throughout the movement.
