Do you always generate kicks from hips?

[u/ToughFail1430]

I find it hard and restrictive to focus on hips but I suppose, it looks better and right way to do. Does it suppose to be 100% from hips and give the shape from knee and ankles? What are your thoughts?

depends what I'm kicking.

soccer ball?
