And in answer to your thread title, no it isn't. It's an air kick in a bedroom in the dark, filmed using a potato. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
telegraphed.... but i'd let you do it the way you pull your foot back leaves you open, i am usually a counter attacker
You are turning sideways and then throwing your kick. When sideways, the two ways to know the kick coming is where the heel of the kicking foot is. A proper sidekick will have the shin in a straight line at the target while the round kick will have the heel closer to your butt. Start all of your kicks from a front kick position. In this manner, your opponent will not be inclined to know what basic kick is thrown. From the ap chagi position, your sidekick will start as the hips rotate. The kick should be halfway to your target by the time your thigh is parallel to the ground.
