Improved!

With constant stretching, and effort, I have improved the height of my side kicks. I am still working towards better control, and strength now that I have gained in height.

My spinning back roundhouse kicks are more accurate, quick, and gained in height.

I need to go back to working on my back kicks. I have learned that my short sightedness is causing difficulties for me to be able to see my target properly through peripheral vision. This causes me concern because my back kicks have proven to be quite powerful, and due to this I would want better control over where I send them.

I believe that I'm coming full circle in balancing the power of my kicks now with improving the targeting/skill/ability. I believe the key will be in having strong balance so that I can fully control the extending leg. I will pursue that path to see how that evolves.

Progess noted

Sidekicks have improved very well.

Switching my focus to spinning back roundhouse kicks, and jumping back kicks.

Working towards improving chambering position, and contact stability.

I noticed a great video on improving kicks on youtube:



I really appreciate the gift of this video, it has awakened me to how important the side muscles are to improving my kicks. I have added this type of training into my efforts.
