KICKING SET

Striking Set is traditionally performed in a square pattern with Side A moving to 12:00, Side B to 3:00, Side C to 6:00, and Side D to 9:00. In class we typically practice a modern, linear pattern with transitions between sides done in a straight line (to 12:00, to 6:00, to 12:00, to 6:00).
