To sign kick, hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing down, representing a stationary object. Form a flat handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your fingers together. Swing your dominant hand forward and upward, striking the side of your non-dominant hand to mimic a foot kicking something.
Sign 'ball' first to establish the object, then use the sign for 'kick' to show the action happening to it.
Start with the sign for 'table', followed by 'kick', and shake your head with a stern facial expression to indicate the negative command.
Sign 'baby' and then use the sign for 'kick'. You can repeat the kicking motion slightly to show that it is a continuous, ongoing action.

No, this sign is specifically for the physical action of kicking an object with your foot. To express 'kicking a habit,' you would use signs related to 'stopping,' 'quitting,' or 'giving up' instead.
Yes, you should use your dominant hand to perform the kicking motion, while your non-dominant hand stays still as the object being kicked. This keeps your signing consistent and easy to read.
You can modify the sign by making the swinging motion faster and more forceful. Pair this larger movement with an intense facial expression to convey the strength and impact of the kick.
