"throw a sidekick"?

Hi

Would you rephrase the words I underlined below?

He can still throw a little sideki kick when he mentions being into Kung Fu.

Thanks,

Sorry, your underlining didn't come through. People often practice their martial arts solo, perhaps before a mirror. They kick the air, since they have no partner.

Ohhh, I was about to make a stupid mistake.

The first thing that came up when I saw the "sidekick" is: a person who helps another more important or more intelligent person. Then "throw a sidekick" made no sense to me, so I asked. I never thought it's actually "a side kick."

Ohhh, thank you for waring.

Right! That's a different idiom: Batman and Robin; the Lone Ranger and Tonto; Cisco and Pancho; Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton.
