On the training ground…
Most of the kids from the Cliffside Villa are out, doing their morning exercise. Few of them are running, and others are doing various exercises or sparring.
"Again!" Aiden instructed Corey while observing his movements as Corey kicked the training dummy.
"Shift your balance to the back and rotate your hips faster. Power comes from the core, and your leg is only following the momentum…"
Aiden gave an approving nod at Corey's kick that followed.
"Good. Remember that feeling and do it again."
"How many times?" Corey asked with a grin which showed that he is pleased with the praise he got from Aiden.
"Until you are confident that you can do it without thinking how you are doing it."
Corey pressed his lips into a line and assumed an attack stance before his hips rotated and his leg hit the training dummy. Again, and again, and again…
