It is important to retract the kick properly, but at the same time making sure you extend enough to reach the target. Mr Trotter then talks about having the supporting foot directly under the body and turning the foot to face backwards.
Make sure you catch the other two videos in this series: Direct Side Kick and 2 Doesn’t Exist Without 1.
The full video is around 15 minutes long.
