Footwork
I suggest:
don't stay 'squared up' with the opponent.
in a left lead: pretend you are standing on the bottom of a 'V'
-first, throw a jab as a distraction.
- left (forward) foot steps up [ just a few inches] to the left wing (stepping into your opponent)
kicking w/ right leg
- right hand drops (creates space to torque hips). Left hand on forehead
-leg is relaxed (like throwing a wet towel)
- push through with hips= when you make contact , like your leg is a baseball bat.
- rise up on your left toes when you start the kick.
- after contact - retract leg and right hand returns to guard.
The better your kick, the louder the sound when you hit the pads.
hope this helps
