WHEN WILL I UNDERSTAND THE HOOK KICK?

pegkerrWe were doing spin hook kicks last night. I felt like such a klutz. It was as if my body just couldn't get the sequence: first chamber, then extend, then whip the leg across. All the while spinning on your supporting leg.
My only comfort is cold comfort indeed: the other red belt who was there last night was having an even harder time than me. She wasn't chambering at all. She had the flu, however, which was a valid excuse.
How long until my body gets how to do this kick without me consciously thinking about the mechanics? It is as if the part of my brain that controls this kick has had a ministroke or something. It is so odd, this sensation that every time I do this kick, I have to figure it out all over again. Weird.
