    I'm currently learning how to roundhouse kick Muay thai style. Done Kickboxing for over a decade. Most would assume its exactly the same. But, it isn't. After much research, some of which I picked up tips from yourself. I spent hours in front of the bag yesterday and corrected my mistakes. I thought it was just one. But, there were a few. Namely. Staying relaxed, rotation of the hip more. And the main one swinging that arm to propell the kicking power. Once they all come together I was like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH light bulb moment. Now, I know. I'm eager to drill it into a habit.
