Lets focus on Effort. Which includes, Space, Weight, Time, and Flow.

Space, Weight, and Time are the Effort Actions... the Action Drive. Haha sounds just like Kung Fu...
Space = Direct/Indirect
Weight = Heavy/Light
Time = Sudden/Sustained
And then Flow = Bound vs. Free
I figured out the reason why Kung Fu is difficult for me is because it's 100% bound flow.
I am a lot of free flow, which means I basically suck at Kung Fu.
Kung Fu is not only Bound, but also Direct, Heavy, and Sudden.
So I guess it's good that I figured all this out, (can't believe it took m a month though...) Now I know that I am working with my polar opposite movement pattern.
Though Korra isn't all bound flow. So it all suits me just perfectly.
If it makes you feel any better, as you progress and get the moveset ingrained in your muscle memory, you'll have more freedom to flow freely. Also, depending on your style of fighting, you'll find areas where indirect and light come really into play
