Training If you cant kick with your lead leg you suck
lead hook kicks, lead axe kicks, sidekicks, twist kicks, roundhouses etc you have to be extremely flexible with both legs. andy hug, peter cunningham, bill wallace, steve vick, benny urquidez, billye jackson and more all had great lead legs. this is like a boxer not having a jab a lead leg is your long range weapong.
Why would you think that you're an exception? you can do something the greats havent? also no switch kicking doesnt count the switch kick is garbage and you should almost never do it.
Obviously the trolls will come in talking about low kicks. have you ever heard a quote "you take whats works and get rid of what doesnt"? its really that simple. if you're also not flexible enough to do any of this just get out of the sport you arent athletic enough to compete, and if you arent in the sport to be number 1 or dont believe you're number one then get out of the sport as well nobody cares about participation trophies. (unless you do it recreationally or as a hobbyist then you're fine but if you compete and want a participation trophy then just get out and go back to where you came from)
