If you don't have the foot your standing on turned into the right direction you range of motion with the kicking leg is restriceted and you could hurt yourself.

I usualy perform sidekicks from various positions.
However, since i am no spring chicken anymore, some days work better than others. I got my little owies that show up intermittenly.
To tell you the truth, it sounds to me like you pulled something. Put some ice on, rest up a few days, maybe take an Ibuprofene. Stretch well before practice. It happens. I had a mild groin pull once, it didn't show untill I had sat down for a couple of hours after practice...I have no idea what I did or when, but there it was.
Maybe you can video tape yourself if your instructor can't pinpoint what you are doing...

it still sounds like you have pulled it. If you do infact kick whilst you body is 'hanging' over the side then more than likely that is your problem. Firstly it uses a different set of muscles and the incorrect positioning of your upper body leads you to moving your upper and lower in opposing directions resulting in a strain or a pull.

Originally posted by mr goodcat View Postnope i realized what i was doing, i forgot to pivot and chamber so i strained my gleutius maxamus. i learned tht doing a side kick a certain way may work for someone but not someone else. bruce lees side kick was done in a way that worked for him, so i did some trial and error and finally decided that chambering my foot down more was the better way because i did not feel the strain anymore
Just because you are not feeling the strain does not mean the pull isn't there.
If you currently feeling the strain doing the kicks the regular way and not in the different way only means that you are compensating. That can lead to a whole new set of problems down the road!
Giver yourself time to heal! and see where you are then!
You can practice your kicks (pretty much all of them) on the wall, relatively close to it, so you don't have to worry about balance and you can do them more controlled.

Dude, there are correct mechanics for certain kicks, because the human body only move so many ways. A bad pivot will blow out your knees maybe an ankle.
what you think you are doing, may be incorrect, (from a mechanics standpoint) this can cause you to lose power, and make you more prone to injury.
You need to get some proper instruction before you hurt yourself.
The pivot for a side kick is 180 degrees. It's a linear kick, if your base leg heal is not point at the target when the kick makes contact you are at serious risk of injury. Even if it hasn't happened yet, the effects can add up over time as you get older. Hell I could throw one without pivoting at all, it doesn't mean there isn't a better way.

Originally posted by mr goodcat View Postmust i? because it hasnt really been working out for me lately. i felt the strain because i was pivoting weirdly. as i said before, a side kick is different with everyone and i will tell you why, simply because those who develope their own unique styles of doing a side kick created a way to ''fully express themselves maximally and efficiently'' they arent doing it because some whacked out doctrine said to, or because it is the ''permitted'' way of doing it, but they came to understand themselves through the efficiency of their own self-expression of their kicking. unless theres an entirely new race of humans on earth that are structured differently, there cant be any different way of fighting(BL)
LOL! I am not arguing personal style with you. I am thinking of biomechanics. Think Baseball. The player has a little twitch somewhere, so he changes a little thing and his whole game falls appart or worse he gets seriously hurt.
You adjusted your technique to avoid the pull...not seeing what you are doing, I only caution you that you might get more than you bargained for.
Since you hvae no instructor, videotape your session and watch it, maybe you can tell that way what you are doing.
Maybe you did it wrong when you pulled your muscle...but you really ought to give the muscle time to heal while it is only a little twinge. A couple of days with an icepack and some Iboprofene...before you really tear it and then you'll be out much longer.
