Body Movement
When doing a particular kick the body must move in to a certain position. The key is though to minimize any additional movement.



I don't see any harm in Rod's advice, however I agree that body movement is the key to a good kick!!

The other thing to consider, is do you want a powerfull kick or a kick that is really pretty to look at!!

The truth is, a kick that is done correctly is powerfull and looks good at the same time, you may get better looking ones and you will get more powerful ones but that doesn't make them the correct kick to use!!

You also need to consider a kick that you can recover from if things goes wrong!!
