Stiff Swinging Kick to the Spine. Last Tuesday we worked on this. So much fun. So much frustration. So many new things to work on. But for me the kicker (heehee) was bag or no bag. Throwing the kick in the air feels wild and on the verge of losing control. I have a very hard time committing to the kick.
In the air it's not the first half of the kick, it's after the target recovery that I struggle with. There is so much momentum in the leg that my balance disappears.
With a bag, my momentum is arrested by the bag making recovery much easier.
This points out a deficiency with my control of expansion and contraction. Another minor issue I have is repetition. After about five of these in a row on both legs, I have to stop and wait for the room to catch up to my brain. So getting in meaningful and mindful reps is very time consuming. Good thing I am not in a rush right?! So if you see me watching you do these kicks without a bag, thanks for helping me better understand "your" mechanics, maybe I can find a way to adapt them to "my" mechanics.
