Hi,
Been training about 3.5 years and have never had a problem with the round house until recently. It has become apparent that my round house is not "round" enough and is kicking in a more upward motion than usual. The left one is fine, but the right one seems to struggle. My fellow students have even noticed it and it's quite embarrassing having to go through the technique again when I have always been able to do it for so long.
Just to provide some clarity....there is absolutely no problem when kicking the bag. I get sufficient pivot and angle on my left planted foot to generate the rotation for whipping the right leg round. It only seems to be on the pads that I encounter the upward kicking motion. It almost feels like my kick is "stuck" and not turning over. The result is a powerful, but stiff looking kick. When I do try and get the rotation, I end up over extending and pivoting too much, the result is an over extended "flicking" kick that has little power.
It is embarrassing talking to the coach as even when we go through it in slow mo, I just can't seem to reach the range of motion he is going through and nobody can seem to understand why. I know my own body and my hip feels stuck. Have I maybe developed a hip problem due to training or is there a simple fix to this? even watching all the thai guys roundhouses online hasnt helped as it only seems to be when doing a right roundhouse on pads only. Bags are perfect....
Would appreciate some insight
