I'm trying to knock the cobwebs out of my kicks. Having fought mostly in Western Boxing and Wing Chun in recent years (mostly hand fighting and really low kicks (Wing Chun)) my other kicks have seriously atrophied. The last time I did much in the way of kicking was in TKD as a high school Freshman 11 years ago.

I know to start slow and not overextend myself but my kick mechanics need some serious work. (When I threw some round kicks while doing some shadowboxing my timing felt horrible and my legs felt sluggish). Front push kicks and knees worked exactly as I remember them but I'm trying to figure out ways I can sort of get my kick mechanics back online without picking up bad habits along the way.
 
Just keep on practicing, I would recommend checking out some of the youtube videos on muay thai round kicks for pointers.
