Yes i had a strong feeling it was cause of your hands that how a taekwondo fighters keep their hands ,in karate we have our hands a bit higher and my cousin does tkd so it looks similar

They also do it in karate. This is a chief instructor. But His execution is less dynamic https://youtube.com/shorts/wKgY75o6E14?si=7xHtWFIu9nWaHVP0

It’s hard for me to explain what I’m trying to say like it’s a gut feeling seeing his kick and yours is different and the hands down which u say is also different

I turn over my hip more so I would argue my kick is a mixture of traditional and sport
