but if you don't know how to do a side kick here is how in simple steps.

Hold on to a wall for balance. You should practice your side kick step by step to ensure you are using the correct technique. Hold on to a chair or wall to help you balance while learning the motion of your kicking foot.
Stand sideways to the target and lift the knee of your front leg. Your ankle should be flexed and the blade of your foot should be ready to strike. The blade of your foot is the outside edge, which you will use to strike your target. When you lift your knee you should be pointing your heel at the target.
Although you would normally turn your body sideways during the side kick, for now you should start sideways to practice the motion of the kicking foot only.
This is a straight kick so you must have your heel pointing at the target before straightening your leg.
Drive your knee out towards your target and extend fully. Straighten your leg and bring your foot to the body height of the opponent. You should try to get as much of your sole facing the ground as possible so think of your big toe lifting up and your little toes pointing down.
You will always strike with the blade of your foot for this strike so make sure you remember this.
Aim to the body of your opponent.
Make sure that your heel is higher than your toes when striking.
