08Front snap kick
Knee up, foot out, knee back
Look, then piston
11Over-the-shoulder shot from behind a sparring partner holding a kick shield, an Iranian woman in a black taekwondo uniform and a sports hijab throws a single spinning back kick, in a dim training hall lit by a red exit sign and cool skylights, cinematic, slow motion. 0–2s: she faces the camera past the partner's shoulder in a fighting stance. 2–4s: she turns her back to him, eyes locking on the shield over her shoulder. 4–6s: her rear leg drives straight back like a piston, heel first, slamming the shield into the partner's chest and knocking him back a step, the camera jolting with him. 6–8s: she turns forward and lands in her stance, guard up. Throughout: her full body visible, the partner's shoulder and shield framing the left edge, dust drifting in the skylight beams.
The look over the shoulder is the tell. Put it in its own beat before the kick, so the model aims the heel.
