How do I throw a red level punch in the dojo?

Total beginner here. It appears that I'm trying to start Xbox One Killer Instinct - Season 2, whatever that means. I'm trying to work through the dojo lessons, and get stuck at Normal Standing Attacks. There are supposed to be Blue, Yellow, and Red punches,
but nothing says what I have to do to invoke the different levels. If I use the blue and yellow buttons, I seem to get light and medium punches, at least most of the time. The red button only produces a kick for me, which doesn't count and I can't get any
further. Help?

Problem with analog stick on controller

No, I do not throw or punch my controller.I don't see who would do that.

 

help im stuck

Sorry nobody seems to reply to you, but anyway simply walk near the gate (don't punch the switch, ignore it). When you are right by the gate door turn around and face the far away switch, Activate your red magic and while glowing red throw a dagger... Hope
this helps... I have this game on the ps 3 and I also was stuck for a short while here....
