never snap the knee, but especially never snap the knee with weight on the leg
stretch kick and crescent kicks are "swings"
When I was in high school and college, I wore 5lb ankle weights on each leg. Just walking around and going up and down stairs to classes made my kicks very fast. Don't wear them for kicking.
I took off the weights only for sparring and taking a shower. I even wore them to sleep.
One English teacher used to make fun of me and claimed I was wearing orange socks all the time.
Then I took TKD which ruined my kicks, haha.
