Flying Side Kick

[Metal]

That is an epic photo! Great job.
In terms of the kick itself, based on the photo it appears you are striking with the whole bottom of the foot no?

Thanx everybody for the nice comments!

When it comes to using sidekicks in competition and sparring as well as breaking I try to use the outer 'edge', some would call it 'foot sword' of the kicking foot. The part that's closer to the heel to be exact.

When I did the jumping sidekick there was a lot of stuff to focus on, so it's not perfect. I'll work on it though. ;-)

I'm not entirely happy with the kicking foot position in that pic, but I'm happy that the pics turned out well.

This one turned out a little bit better regarding the kicking foot and the right arm being parallel. (My intention was to do a jumping sidekicks similar to the sidekicks with a supporting Me Jumok Chigis in Taegeuk 5 and Taebaek). Too bad that I jumped a little bit too early. ^^
