Weakness WILL be turned into strength...

So tonight I realized that I have a nemesis: Jump back kick.
Unfortunately, I let it get to me at the end of class tonight. It seems as though my chamber wasn't high enough, tight enough, too loose, need full extension, etc, etc...needless to say, I became very frustrated with myself. To be honest, I'm still a little frustrated.

However! Tonight on my way home, I decided that I want to make the jump back kick one of my best kicks. Why? Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment. Haha, just kidding. I want to make my jump back kick better because 1) it obviously needs LOTS of improvement. 2) I like a challenge. 3) Why not? I like turning my weaknesses into strengths.

So. In order to get there, I am going to practice it 10 times every day (except Sunday) each leg. Right now, I'm going to focus on the proper chamber. Once I get that down, I'll work on the full extension. After that, work on the proper foot position.

Here is where I'll be needing your help. Ready? First of all, accountability. Check on me and see if I'm actually doing what I said I'd do. Also, don't be surprised should I come up to you and ask you to critique it.

I give myself until October to make the jump back kick one of my best.
