But why is my rechamber important? I can't rechamber any other way due to stiffness.

Higher Taekwondo forms (black stripe and up) prescripe high kicks, thus I drill high kicks.

I just answered a simple question. Where does this kick rank technically relative to other practitioners. I got a reply that it's below 1st Dan in Karate (and presumably then TKD) , and referenced a seminar in return where every single black belt apart from the instructor threw sloppy, slow roundhouse kicks. And I have already mentioned that I am a red belt in TKD, which is brown belt equivalent in Karate.

And the black belts in this Tang Soo Do lecture by Hwang jang Lee are even worse. Spin kicks but body cordination tells the tale

At the very least 1st degree black belt. I can't speak from a TKD perspective but in our karate group this wouldn't be considered good enough for 1st Dan. But as others have mentioned, you cant base a grade/rank on one technique. K. Then I guess the standard of ITF TaeKwondo is worse. Every black belt in this clip throws a far worse roundhouse kick first clip

At the very least 1st degree black belt.

I put it at top 40% among Korean arts kickers but it was more interesting if you would have done it slower or with a moment of locking the technique. a hold would show the strength which comes with time and training. if this kick , is the best you can do and you don't have any major physical limitation, I can only say you are above 6 months practicing either at home or a club. I have two questions for you : 1- can you open your legs 180. if you can NOT then is it a physical limitation or you need more training time? 2-can you stay in Shiko dachi for 2 minutes ? if NOT, is it a physical limitation or you need more training time? 1. No. Physical limitation according to my experience. 2. Yes I can. Just did it

Funny you mention that, I can't seem to throw a really hard kick on a target without this side effect. Maybe it's a balance thing. What are the arguments for torqueing the lead hand guard? I wouldn't do it if I could choose..

Also note that when I kick targets it's technically different from doing kata kicks. See here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wMQ5lzK6YAM Two completely different kicks mechanically

Yes but the problem is that what people prescribe as mistakes or missunderstandings, is 9 times out of 10 just my own physical attributes, and employing them to the best of my abilities. I don't think I could ever make a major revision to my technique, even if I wanted to. It's not like a punch. I can kick faster, harder, but mechanical modifications are way harder, if you aren't naturally flexible.

I don't train anymore. What level is this at your club? By that I mean relative to students who throw head kicks, what belt level would this be at?

But if my knee is parallell to the ground when connecting compared to vertical? Which is the proper roundkick configuration?

No they don't. I first asked a question about the formal technique, then how it looks in practice when they fight. If they abide by it always

and are contradicting each other, and they're in the same post. Ultimately, if you don't like the school you're at, find a new one. If you don't like being taught, open your own school. I have left his school. The thread has nothing to do with him.
