For every kick, there's a lot going through my head it becomes
difficult to just relax and execute the move. A summary of the
points I believe about when kicking:
Muay Thai Phuket
.Get the correct range and land with the shin
.Pivot those hips
.Turn so my navel is perpendicular to my opponent
.Get up on the toes of my lead leg
.And rotate on those toes
.Obtain the leg back to position
.Now obtain the leg to positions faster
.Watch my balance
.Chop with my arm
.Try not to chop a great deal that I leave myself exposed for the counter
Muay Thai Gym
It is a lot. And thus, with all of this in my head, a kick isn't just a kick. It is a complex, and at some times inscrutable pair of directions, all of these has to be executed in a second, and then done again, and again, and again. And that can, at times, be both frustrating and disheartening. When you assist people who have moved through this and who can make many of these things happen with what appears like no effort, it's easy to get down on your technique. However when I do, I aim my better to remember 2 things. First, that "effortlessness" on their part is only simply because they put in this same effort I am investing in now and arrived on the scene the other side. Second, in the end, a kick is still just a kick. And it'll be personally yet again, provided I persevere.
