C. Kinds of Kicks in Sepak Takraw

Inside Kick
  Inside kick is used to set up spikes for the killer and also used as a form of ball
control. Stand shoulder width apart, bend your supporting leg at the knee, toss
the ball to yourself and kick the ball. Keep the kicking motion light and don't
swing at the ball too hard. Practice till the ball is consistently coming back up
with ease.
Knee Kick
 This kick is usually done by players receiving a serve. Utilizes the thigh the ball is
hit with the part of the thigh that is just above your knee. The stance is
reminiscent of marching, but your knees would have to be raised as high as
possible.
Toe Kick
 This is a defensive kick. Useful when it comes to saving balls. This kick can be
achieved by placing your foot out for the ball and depending on the degree, lift
your foot with your hip or just let the ball bounce off. Try not to do it with too
much force because the ball tends to fly off uncontrollably.
Outside Kick
 Not very commonly used, is a defensive kick that propels the ball upwards. To
execute, the outside of your foot must contact the ball as your knee bends
inwards. The entire kicking leg should make a right angle at the knee, with the
calf and foot pointing outwards
Header
 Not unlike a football header, a header spike in sepak takraw involves using the
forehead to make the ball fly, especially when it's too high in the air for your kick
to reach it. This technique is used for both serving and striking.
