I made a short animation to try to get back to my old style

i feel like my style is changing and i dont really like it :\
Here's what i'm trying to get back too: http://www.fileize.com/view/580e5dd8-ad8/

Tell me what you think. Better? Worse? Same?

The first animation bothered me....why do you frame it so much at the first kick....it looks like the animation itself is lagging right in the kick.

else it was smooth. ;)

Ah i see, i must of accidentally double framed that when i was double framing something else
Thanks
