Hi, blue belt in ITF. Love this video, to the point! I've watched so many, but it's so lengthy with info you forget. These exercises is what I'm looking for, and I believe it is fun compared to just kicking your leg in and out all day. Thanks! I do hope my hip strength improves through this. Great work!
Hi! I'm a 4th degree black belt Kukkiwon WTF. This is exactly what i was looking for. Just did them myself and it feels pretty good. Will do them every day and also instruct my students to do so. Thanks!!
Luther Buckhurst I believe you when you say your a black belt I’m only purple rn but this is the main kick a black belt should be able to do flawlessly
I watch it last two weeks ago and its actually worked on me . I have a better side kick now just come by to say thanks a lot for the tutorial :) awesome
I love your instructional style. (Not all long winded)...to the point and effective...I ADORE your workout video, still trying to complete it. I love your sharp, slow form style. I am a total fan!!!
The slow extensions or bar work as I call it are great. I practiced and taught these for forty years. This type of work and actual kicking and applications practice are what can make a sidekick so practical. ITF sidekick is among the best. The only excersise I would have any criticism for here is the 40 sidekicks from chamber. There is too much roundness to this due to the knee not being brought back to the chest before firing. Too much roundness in the motion can lead to pain below the kneecap, ie, chondrmalachia. A good sidekick will blend a piston like motion with a snap , all dependent on proper rotation of body parts at the right time. Time is better spent throwing the kick in its entirety to learn this.
Try these exercises once or twice a week to help strengthen your side kicks for Taekwondo or other martial arts. I'll do this exercise twice a day in the morning and in the evening every day...
+sjors sjors Sometimes less is more. You get the benefits of these exercises by stressing your muscles, but then giving them time to recover so that they adapt to the load. If you overtrain it will be counterproductive for strength training.
If you lack basic strength to do side kick then you can use resistance bands to strengthen your gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles with side leg raises and back leg raises. The exercises in this video will help to increase both skill, stretching and strength in your side kicks. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate your tutorials. this is the second video I watched and immediately subbed. How often should I do these exercises? I want to be on this level before I get my black belt. I'm about a year and a half away from test eligibility depending on passing my 1st Gup test..
+Samanosuke1138 Hi Sir, firstly thanks for your great comment. Best of luck on the test. You should do these exercises as many times as you can without getting bored of the process. If that means once a week, fine. Rather that than burn out and stop doing them altogether. If that means every day, great but remember the improvements come through rest and recovery as the body repairs itself and builds up muscle to cope with its new regime.
Gary Foster Thank you. I'll let you know how it goes. I don't think I'll get bored as my drive to get it done is really strong lol. I'll let you know how it goes.
Hey man thx for the side kick.It really help me when i was in my tournament againce my aggresive oppenent :p oh yea sorry if my english is bad btw...just want to know this,What exercises r good for improving my kicking speed? having a tournament up in 2 months and i really want to train so i can win it again :P pls reply dis as soon as posible pls
I used to do taekwondo about 4 years ago... I was SOOO close to black, but i had to quit. Any tips on improving side kick speed? Im a good wide kicker but need to get better speed.
hypeR ..speed is developed by activating twitch fibres within the muscle groups. There are many exercises you can do to improve. A simple one is to sit on a chair and get on to your feet in Choon bi stance as quickly as possible. Fast, explosive exercises is the key. When in backstance keep 70% of your weight on your back leg. When executing the kick transfer that weight on to your front leg. The key to a fast powerful sidekick is in the hips. Execute your side kick like a front kick, lift your back leg straight with a bent knee pointed high, extend the leg straight just before the point of impact, pivot your standing leg so the heel is pointed at target, twist your body using your hips and align your front shoulder, butt and heel of your kicking foot. Try to remain as upright as your flexibility level will allow and drive the heel as deep as you can. Don’t retract the heel after the kick straight away and keep your momentum pushing forward.
Great job!!! exercise 4 looks more like side snap kick need to make sure you re chamber the knee each time... Same thing with exercise 5 :-). still like the video though awesome job...
hi , I am a blue belt ITF style, i was wondering about doing these everyday, would taht be better or would your legs need time in between to recover so only do twice or three times?
Hi Sean, everyday is fine. Try doing the exercises at the same time each day so you build it into your daily routine. Good luck with your training and pattern Joong-Gun.
+Uday Srivastav Sorry about the late reply. Without seeing what you are doing it would be impossible to say. Try a longer warm up and stretch the hips/groin extensively prior to these exercises. If the problem persists seek some medical advice like a Physio or even better an Osteopath. - good luck Sir.
anything more challenging? Something that can take control, strength and precision to the next level? Something I can squeeze when I have a free 10 minutes.
keep your kicks low at first and be patient. Over time, the more you do this routine, your balance and kicks will improve and get higher. Also be sure to stretch your hip flexor muscles. There are various tutorials to that as well.
i train aikido but i feel my legs are too slow thats why im here any advices on how to get more powerful/ and fast kicks ? what should i do in order to complete my aikido with some well executed kicks from tae kwan do ?

Man they will anyone a black belt these days

Even though I don't practice taekwondo I still find this tutorial very useful.

Laura, you are most kind. Thank you for your lovely comments, it means a great deal.

One of the best warm up routines to improve side kicks in my entire martial arts career going on for 30 years now. Simple but extremely effective.
Very nice
U can also use front roundhouse and back kick to use these exercises aswell. The best

Hold the kicks for 60 seconds and don't use any objects for balance.

Hey nice tutorial but what style do you train under just wondering. BTW I'm Chung do Kwan

the footsword
it's good
5 stars
Great job!!! exercise 4 looks more like side snap kick need to make sure you re chamber the knee each time... Same thing with exercise 5 :-). still like the video though awesome job...
Do you think we could see results in 3 weeks if we practiced this every day?
Can I use this excersices to improve roundhouse kick also?
of course
Is three days of training good, instead of 1 or 2?
hi , I am a blue belt ITF style, i was wondering about doing these everyday, would taht be better or would your legs need time in between to recover so only do twice or three times?
Hi Sean, everyday is fine. Try doing the exercises at the same time each day so you build it into your daily routine. Good luck with your training and pattern Joong-Gun.
Ok good to know, thank you :)
I cant hold my legs. My legs always drop any tips ?
Kinda, it helped me with the test.
starting kicks with back to target?
i end up locking my hips . so any solution?
+Uday Srivastav Sorry about the late reply. Without seeing what you are doing it would be impossible to say. Try a longer warm up and stretch the hips/groin extensively prior to these exercises.

Please come back to the old background music!!!
Old background music is copyrighted so I do not earn any money. Apologies.
I see, btw great video! I practise the exercises every day :)
What kind of shoes are you wearing? (That you train with also ...)
Adidas Taekwondo shoes, don't normally train with them as we all train barefoot.
anything more challenging? Something that can take control, strength and precision to the next level? Something I can squeeze when I have a free 10 minutes.
I actually did it while watching this video and I literally falldown in the first exercise. It's too hard for me because I'm not flexible
Well, I really don't know what to say. Keep trying.
keep your kicks low at first and be patient. Over time, the more you do this routine, your balance and kicks will improve and get higher. Also be sure to stretch your hip flexor muscles. There are various tutorials to that as well.
