Just1Mike No, the OTHER Mike Registered: 12/15/05 Posts: 148 Loc: Louisiana, USA	It sounds like you're lifting or swinging your foot into your target instead of thrusting it. Your foot seems to be hitting your target at an angle. After chambering your kick, slowly extend your leg till the ball of your foot hits the target. Make sure your foot travels in a straight line. If your trouble is what I think it is, That should correct it. Form first, Then speed. Hope that helps. Good Luck! Mike. _________________________ PSN: BanditsPledge Live: Schutzwaffen

AkhilleusWeeps Member Registered: 04/11/05 Posts: 214 Loc: Tx	Perhaps you're trying to put too much power behind the kick? I've noticed my foot does strange things as well when I kick full force (usually ends up doing less damage) Perhaps loosening up and letting your kick go with out putting to much thought/power into the strike. I believe if you're trying hard your muscles will contract through out the kick and force your foot to bend in such a way upon impact. _________________________ Goal:Enshin Honbu Dojo
