Ad in the meantime there are some body weight exercises you can do that are really great for strenght. You probably allready know about squat kicks.

 

Try high rep hindu squats. Sink down into a low duck squat with your back straight. Lean forward on the balls of your feet to maintain balance. Then stand up. Do hight reps and you will notice something.

Give this a try.

 

First, make sure you keep your kick between knee and waist heigh, not higher.

 

Next, in your attack stance, extend your arms out to each side. Twist you upper body in the opposite direction of where you intend to spin (this helps you build a little extra torque). Now, use your arms to help sling you into your spin, and stay on the ball of your foot as previously stated. Keep your arms out through the entire spin, and work on spinning fast enough to make your finger tips tingle. Only do 5 to 10 before either switching you stance, or taking a break.

 

As you get better, slowly work the extended arms out of the equation, followed by eliminating the wind up.

Make sure that you look for the target...

That's a very good point. Turn your head and the body should follow. One of those things that works well for some reason LOL When spinning, if your head doesn't turn then everything is slowed down and hampered. And like Ram Calgary said your eyes should always face the target as soon as possible. Obviously where your eyes go, your head will go too (hopefully! :lol: ).
