im not trying to contradict you by any means. this is a serious question. but, how come (for the questions sake lets use hoost) when ernesto hoost does leg kicks, i see his hip turn over and hes kicking downward? am i wrong, or is this a legitimate question?
I cant understand how your body can look square rather than side on if you switch with the lead shoulder forward/ perhaps your switching to wide?.

On the point of low kicking as Ghost said you can use the downward angle to hit the leg(like Hoost) or even the 45 deegree to hit the leg,nothing is right or wrong as such,my point on the angles was the chiang angle is real good for the body,the downward is real good for the neck and the horizontal is good for sweeping or of balancing the legs,good luck with your switch.
