As always, I am not sure this will interest anyone enough to respond, but oh well.
I haven't had time to make it to class (mandatory OT), so I have been practicing my forms. Lately I notice my energy release is better on the right side, which is no surprise considering I am right-handed. The weird thing is, it isn't EVERY technique that has poor release: fak sao to the side, jam sao, and the rear low palm strike during Sil Lum Tao. Also, I have literally 0% snap to my kicks. By that I don't mean I should kick my leg out and bring it back; I mean there is no release of energy like there is in my punches. Now granted in a street fight I would probably do little to no kicks but if my plan is to be a teacher of my own students someday, they might get a little suspicious if I completely ignored them.
I know what I need to work on, which is a good start.
