What is your favorite kick that you perform better than others and if there is a such thing as your signature kick, what would it be?
I would have to say mine is - spin kick.
It was something that I practiced quite a bit when I was taking Tae Kwon Do and I was able to improve on it during my Hwa Rang Do days. One difference I found was in TKD, you are striking a single point so the leg go up and comes down fairly quickly. In HRD, you are striking through a long plane so the leg stays up in same height for a bit longer time. Either way, I was able to execute this kick with power and speed others envied.

In my younger days, the front kick was my fastest kick. It's not flashy but effective. If done correctly with the hips driving forward, you can get in a pretty good shot when it connects. I usually use it as an initial explosive attack. It's not as effective as a defensive kick.
