Hi Alvin,
You don't really need too much movement before you start your serve. You can start with your bat still and then go straight into your service action.
If you want to add an action, just do what feel natural. The most important thing though is to get the swing right so that you get a fine and fast brushing action.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
