Based on the results of researchers' observations at SMP Muhammadiyah II Pekanbaru, some of the athletes of Tapak Suci at SMP Muhammadiyah II Pekanbaru, it can be seen that the speed of the sickle kick is still not good. This is due to the athlete's lack of maximum kick speed. Lack of target accuracy when making a sickle kick. The sickle kick technique is still not perfect for athletes. In addition, the lack of explosive power of the athlete's leg muscles that is less than optimal also affects the results of the kick so that the resulting movement is still slow and does not slide hard. Then there are facilities and infrastructure such as training grounds that can endanger athletes and the lack of infrastructures such as sand sack/sandbox and others.
