how do you practice to get better or higher kicks?

With mawashe geri and yoko geri my old sensei used to place a chair underneath our legs so we couldnt kick lower than that - or face hurting yourself! I have always found that my best training comes from pad and bag work - its a good drill routine to get your power and flexibility flowing.

Hi matbla, I had exactly the same question. See the thread entitled Improving Kicking Technique and Power.

You might find some useful tips there, I know I did!
