Hi all.
I was just wondering if the roundhouse kick was perhaps inherently weaker than the front or side kick due to the mechanics of the movement.
Here's the story:
I recently bought a heavy bag (rough estimate 30 kg/66lb), but have yet to install the ceiling bracket, so I place it on a stool while practising. I've found my front kicks and side kicks fully able to knock the bag off the stool, but my roundhouse kicks barely faze it. I have to try really hard before it reluctantly topples off the stool. (I use my instep, and used my hip as much as I could)
Thus I'm wondering if it's just the technique's inherent traits, my own flawed technique, or just lack of proper practice in that move.
Thanks very much.
