Ultimately arms can remain almost idly https://pic8.co/sh/mSa9HL.png
True. I can also keep up a guard while kicking. It depends on the situation and kick. But if I'm trying to cause as much impact as possible, I'm turning my front foot damn near to 9 o clock and letting my rear leg fly with as much force as I can generate
From my experience, you don't need to open the foot that much, 10/11 o clock is enough, since the foot will pivot to 9 anyways, and more if you miss the target making you do a full spin
I normally only open it that much if the combo endswith a rear roundhouse. My coach taught me this way. I couldn't very well go against him. He would ask me wtf am I doing.
