Improving my kicking power

[mal103]

Warm up first, do plenty of slow technique kicks, slowly build up speed, do optional strength training, start actually kicking something, end with stretching.

My right kick is far stronger, my left knee hurts after training/running too much so I go easy on it, kicking in the air too fast is also bad on some techniques.

I've increased pad work and building up on my left weaker leg, also some kicks are rubbish unless you drill them properly.

I used to practice Muay Thai on my own for about a year, I have amazing thigh kicks which I used in a couple of "fights" with friends. I also had a good front kick.

My suggestions for you would be become as flexible as possible. Stretch daily, 40 seconds for each stretch at a high intensity. And practice your technique on a light heavy bag or air. I used air but a light heavy bag would have helped too.
