Help with my butterfly kick.?

Question

I can do the basic motion for a butterfly kick but my head is too high and my legs are too low. how can i even my body out some more? I'm having some trouble with the push off that gets me into the air, so that is probably most of the problem.

Answer 1

let your inhibitions go. its like your first backflip on a trampoline. Once your body does it, you feel more free.   So get momentum foreward and pretend your chin soo kung!

Answer 2

First you need to learn Paint the fence : Up  Down .

Then Paint the House : Side to side .

After that is sand the floor and wax on , wax off . But you need to learn the first two before that . ....ok !

Answer 3

a good way to get higher and be straighter when you jump is to try doing momentum steps, if your already doing momentum steps then I'm not sure.

Answer 4

The first kick is crucial. Also duck your head when first executing the first kick, jsut before executing the second kick, switfly arch up your head and spine to encourage a "lift off". Also.....hours of practice.
