(2) Do guard drill to learn how to cover the upper half. Not much point in landing a great kick if the other guy punches you in the face at the same time and you both end up on your arses.

I'm guessing the first movement, getting your momentum going might be the hardest. Perhaps a drop step? Dunno, just theorizing here.

The whole thing I'm trying to get across with this guide is tha tthere's no one way of doing the technique. Pretty much the same with every technique but I digress.. :-) Thanks for the feedback, Wim That’s also a good option.

Although people claim to generate more power by swinging one arm back behind them, I think its the turning of the hips and hitting at the correct spot with the correct part of the shin that makes the kick powerful. good article.
