www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA2iDtqHbXQI was watching this Youtube video recently, and the mawashi performed by Kancho Kanazawa (the younger one), is similar to the action I have. However, the comments below the video indicated that many thought it incorrect! When we do single-step kihon practice on Mawashi, we first lift our leg sideways (the femur points perpendicular to the opponent). When we kick, the standing foot turns by nearly 180 degrees, with the result that when you retract your leg after the kick, the femur now points directly towards the opponent. Any thoughts - is this how your mawashi ends too, or do you believe that after kicking, our kicking leg should return to the starting position (implying that the standing foot should also turn back to its starting position?) ______________ More sweat in training, less blood in battle

The object is to kick someone. If you practice going back to the start position and returning the foot. ( so you do not need hip replacements later in life). You can choose to move forward or go back if you moving forward is going to put you at a disadvantage. If you do not practice going back you lose the choice.
What works for you or do you just copy at the expense of any practical application or use.

Bert, could you please clarify your point regarding hip damage? Thanks! ______________ More sweat in training, less blood in battle

It is clear that the gentlemen in the video have a greater range of movement in their hips than average. If you look at his supporting foot he only moves it a little because of his range of movement. To speed this up some people do not rotate the supporting foot and they do not have the range of movement in the hip. So they force it and the hip joint takes the brunt of this. Over a number of years it wears the ball in the hip joint. It hurts do this, pain is a warning. If you body moves in your natural range of movement, turn the supporting foot to open the hip then you do not get this.
You can't just copy because we are all different so you have to adapt and make it work for your body. ( after stretching and exploring your limits)

If you're leg is up in the air, how do you generate any power?
Your entire turning force is generated by the straight standing leg trying to shift your entire body weight and the thigh muscle.
In other words this technique is for balance and not kicking. Balance training is useful, but conflating this staged approach with what your body does when you actually kick creates misunderstanding about how to kick.
