In this live karate class, Sensei Amos focused on two types of turning after kicking. The four kicks practiced, were mae geri, yoko geri kekomi, mawashi geri and ushiro geri, then turning through 180 degrees after each individual kick.

The first method involves pivoting on the heel initially, then finishing the turn by pivoting on the ball of the foot.
