DavidCC,
You posted, yes, that is the linear action that resembles our side kicks. When teaching it to the kids I start them off by stomping straight down...
Cool! I also start beginners off that way.
You also posted, I still need to try the kicks from your original videos, see how my heavy bag likes'em.
I hope you enjoy them.
Jdinca,
You posted, Those are similar to two of our kicks. The blade kick (knife edge) is a light, fast kick to fragile targets, knee, floating rib, throat. The side thrust with the heel is a power kick designed to deliver maximum impact.
I agree with Kidswarrior, Thank You (for the clarification).

Jdinca,
You posted, Try bringing your back arm foward, i.e., have your fist somewhere around your stomach. I think you'll find that minor anatomic change will noticeably improve your ability to correctly execute the kick.
I did and you are correct.
Thank you for the suggestion.

When I do a side kick I always hit with both anyway. The heel is part of the blade. The skin squishes. I do like to keep my toes out of the way so I stretch them back. The heel will be where most of the force is because of the allignment through bone straight to the hip and other heel. To be honest I don't give it much thought anymore. I aim for the pelvis straight on and my heel hits the hip-bone while my blade hits the abdomen. I stomp a foot with just the heel.
