Focusing on my kicks in Tuesday nights black belts class showed many disparities. One was left versus right abilities (height, power, speed). It has brought to the front of my mind the fact that if I am doing a kick I will automatically use my left leg as that is the one I am most comfortable using. And for that I am now paying the price. My left hip is very unhappy with me.
I wanted the power, the speed, the coordination that comes with using my left leg while we were doing these kicks, I felt I was making good progress. But part of me wanted to see what the right leg could (couldn't) do. The right leg was slower, lower and off target. I wasn't surprised, I rarely use this leg for kicks, and it showed. Defiantly no six harmonies there, maybe two if I was lucky.
Part of me screams "then ignore your left leg and only focus on your right". But there must be balance or I risk more bias of a side. So I will start with the right, work out a few kinks, then the left gets to play. I want to see if I can find a balanced between the two so technique approaches a balance.
I most likely will always favor my left, I am a lefty by the way, but the right needs to start to assert some authority here cause I am leaving it behind.
