In this episode, Tozaki explains the important points of kicking.
The main focus is how to kick without your opponent noticing it coming.
He explains that the important point is in the way you lift your foot off the ground during the initial motion of the kick.
By lifting up from your heel it becomes difficult to bend the knee enough making it easy for your opponent to notice.
The trick is to lift your entire foot off the ground at the same time.
