That would be more for power, not speed. Also, it's not applicable to all types of kicks. Nonetheless, i do prefer the kicks that incorporate hip movement and do think it's a good idea to practice building speed in your actions while utilizing your hips. Otherwise, you could very well be compromising power and functionality for speed.

this drill is for also balance and to get the form right:

do as you normally would do a front kick. dont do the whole thing yet, right before you kick, stop. kick with the other leg and that's a jumping front kick. don't put your foot on the ground, leave it like the other leg was. go on and remember that you could do it with other kicks(not stretch ones). I hope you understand .

When you strike, strike with your whole body.

Just like when you sneeze, it's done with the force of your whole physical self, including your brain.

The most suitable thing for that are repetitions of your techniques and kata.

Practice it everyday. Remember some combinations from training and do them at home.

For the 1st month do them a 100 times on each side. For the 2nd go to 250 or 300.

Dedicated your self to it and your bound to carry out actions as if it were reflex.
