You know a guy is a beast when he talks like Mike Tyson
Excellent instruction. Many thanks.
Keep in mind this is just a small group of exercises. When it comes to the height of the kick, the cause of the problem needs to be analized and proper techniques recomended.
As far as how long it will take, that depends on the reason you can kick high in the first place.
I usually get people to throw high kicks on average in 4 months.
With low intensity you can do the exercises 5-6 times a week. With high intensity 3 times a week. Some people will be sore at first, so they should start 2 times a week.
In terms of how long to hold each stretch, you have to feel what is comfortable. For some 30 seconds is too much, while for others 10 seconds is too much.
You will get a feel for it as you keep training.
DAMN this guy has some ballance
I began Seibukai Kyokushin Karate at 48 years old. I'm now 49 and I realize I will never be able to do a good face side kick at my age (although my Mae Geri reaches the opponent's head). I'm very glad I found your videos!! Very tough to achieve but so useful!! Thank you sir...
Enruler,
Thank you for your comments. I been training for many years, but with correct training students can kick very well in few months.
The Kicking Series will helps you kicking techniques, if they need help.
Take a look at the channel here and additional videos at ElasticSteel website. You will find what you are looking for.
The body should stay up when you kick that is correct. The video above demonstrates conditioning and training for high kicks, not the technique itself. For the technique see other videos on the channel.
I'm new to martial arts I'm 20 6'1 and 220 pounds I used to do boxing when I was younger then I wanted to expand on that knowledge. The muai Thai kick is the best I can do so far I truly believe that this dudes technique can help me kick higher and stronger. I just need more muscle memory and flexibility
Hi Paul! You are one of the most inspiring fitness instructors I have ever met. When I watch your videos, nothing seems impossible. Thank you for all the videos you have posted for us during all these years. Have a great day and good luck with all your current and future projects!
Thanks for your input. There are DVD's on the topic still available now and the Manuals were given, during kicking seminars. More in the future. :)
The DVD covers many things, it can't go into every possible issue, as that would be a very long series of DVD's.
About what you are asking. That depends on the where the restriction is felt, and the position of your trunk. Both legs must be tested for strength and flexibility. Same must be done with your spinal extensors, obliques, abdominals, Quad lumborum, among other things.
With the information that I have, without seeing the kick and doing some tests, I can't give you an accurate advice.
Thank you, glad to help. Take a look at other videos for more info.
Crazyrobban, Thank you for your comment. Glad to help.
Thank you for watching. Very glad to help.
Thank you for your comment. There are many videos about the splits, both DVD on ElasticSteel site and one's here on youtube.
Take a look at the video on this Channel on the topic of hip turn out. I would post a link, but the system is not letting me. Do a search for "hip turn out" and ElasticSteel
wow thankyou soo much, within 1 minute my side kick improved
Thank you for watching, glad to help.
Glad to share, Thank you for watching.
Thank you for watching. Glad to help.
Wow I never realized how important flexibility was in martial arts until I tried these stretches and improved my side kick greatly, thanks for the awesome video
Thank you for the comments. I'll make a clip in the future regarding the MT kicks.
Thank you for your comment. I will make some videos on punches as well.
Thank you for your comment. I hope your students will like the exercises as well.
You gain in speed, accurancy and surprise. You get power from non-broken acceleration, something you can't do with traditional kick.
The beautiful thing is that you have options.
Glad to share. Thank you for watching.
Start with one set of 5-10. Progress to 2 sets. Try to do slow and controlled movement. This by itself won't get you flexibile, it will your specific strength, which will help with flexibility development in later steps.
That depends. If your knees extend beyond straight line, than straight leg is not a locked out leg. If your knee locks out, when it's straight than yes; straight as in locked out.
polatmematipolat,
Thank you for your comment. Glad it helps.
Chrisser2, Thank you for your comment. I may at some point.
Thank you for your comment. Glad to help.
That depend on how your throw your kick. If you don't have a full turn out on the supporting leg and full turn in on the kicking leg, your MT Kicks would require the flexibility of the slightly different muscle groups.
Take a look at different exercises on the channel, also never neglect the slow kicks.
Glad to hear that. Keep training.
The kicking DVD's have a section on height and flexibility of the kicks, part of that section has variation of those exercises.
The DVDs go into more depth then the books.
Most people would not try to use high kicks in a fight. Try moving the extended leg a few inches in different directions, on the top of holding the extended leg.
Kostazx6r,
Thank you for your comment. I"ll see if I can make something about the ITB.
This video has hit my flexibility issue on the head! I'm not very flexible naturally, and have been having real issues with my Muay Thai roundhouse kicks. I never would of thought that the issue was my supporting let. I've been doing this stretch once a day for a week and I already feel more flexible. I have a long way to go still, however, I feel like I know how to target my issue now. Thanks for the helpful videos!
Thank you for watching. Glad to share.
lol Glad to share. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video Paul. I noticed that a lot of my taekwondo students have problems with the sidekick because they lack the strength in their supporting leg (abductors). When they try to execute a high sidekick, they tend to kick backwards instead of sidewards because they need to adress the quadriceps.
This especially seems to be the case with tall students with long legs. I will definitely try these.
dzhao888, Thanks for the comment. I am not exactly sure to the area you are refering to.
thanks this is probably the best training, instruction video i've seen for a long time
This is exactly what I needed. I struggle with flexibility, getting my round kicks (I do muay thai) above waist level. You're really detailed and knowledgeable. Thanks!
Shivrv,
You got it.
Keep training and you'll achieve your goals.
wow. i've been loking all over the internet for some good tips to improve my kicking.and all i've found out led me to injury in complicated streching. but this, this is amazing after just one sesion i feel its working my bones don't hurt anymore. tank you man god bless u are amazing. P.S. sorry for misspelling i'm from romania
Good videos to help with flexibility and overall general health. Thanks for sharing! I struggled as a gymnast and later as a martial artist to achieve flexibility...you just have to work, work, work, on it. Okinawan style I studied, the kicks are all low so no problem there but, it's still good training to kick higher (for me).
This specific video shows how to develop the flexibility in the non-kicking leg. There are rare hip conditions which may not allow the hip joint to open, but for most people it's a matter of correct technique.
People much older then you have mastered those skills.
If you have correct turn out in the hip joint, the knee will be aligned and should not hurt.
If you do want to flex your knee slightly, you can do that as well.
I just discovered your videos, and immediately subscribed. Thank you for being so knowledgeable!
Deep bow!
Thank you.
Always glad to help.
Wow, I am back! Paul I actually have a question I need for you to answer. In many years in Martial Arts, I have seen people do the Chinese splits, but they can't kick high. What I found is that the higher you can get the knee, while standing, the higher you can extend the leg (kick ) I believe the frog stretch-knee's flared out on the floor) helps flexibility inside your hips resulting higher kicks.
thanks for the video, this has already GREATLY improved my kick with just two weeks of doing these stretches.
Thanks nan! You're a saviour! I've been searching for this for a long time.
You are welcome and thank you for the comment.
Please take a look at other videos on the channel.
Oh thank you so much! Finally a reasonable tutorial! I don't actually do any martial arts or fighting, I just wanna kick high without hurting my groin (down below).. thanks again.
Mairena2000,
Depends on which kick. Adductor flexibility is a part of the issue. Strength in multiple muscles, depending on the kick is another part of the equation.
Take a look at other video in the channel.
Protozerox,
Thank you for your comment. Glad you find the information useful.
That depends on how fast your recover, how conditioned you are, and how intense is each workout.
If you work out is closer to intense, and you recover slow, do this every other day.
If you workouts are lighter and you recover fast, you can do this 5 times a week.
Mario, thank you for your comment.
There are many reasons for the pain. In some cases it's joint pain, in others it's tightness in the ITB and/or TFL. Depending on the issue deep massage can take care of the pain.
You are definitely The Man!
Thanks for the video's.
Kevin
You got it. Thank you for your comment.
Everyone, Thank you for your comments.
Take a look at ElasticSteel on Face book.
As long as you can. Start with one set on each side and progress to 3 sets. Progress from warrior 3 to 4. As 4 has a better transfer into a side kick.
Excellent! Very humble and you cover beginners to experts. Encouraging too!
Based on what you are saying it makes sense for you to work on the deadlifts first, combined with stretching, both static and dynamic.
Thank you for your support everyone. Glad to help.
Start with 5-10 reps per leg for one set. Do that for a week (3 times a week) to get used to it. Then increase reps and sets.
Given a chance you should rotate the supporting foot from the hip, so that the heel is facing the target, this will allow for better hip rotation in the kicking leg.
LotusSaya,
There is a section on kicking height and flexibility in each of the kicking DVD's. Each for a specific kick. The Flexibility DVD will enable you to increase flexibility, which without kick specific training would not improve your kicks.
That's excellent! I like the fact that you explain everything you do and make a theorical description of it. Could you please make a video on high roundhouse kick training? both for strenght and flexibility
Paul thanks for posting this! This video is exceptionally insightful. I'm new to martial arts and this really helped me break down what I need to work on. Keep up the good work!
You very welcome. Than me by putting this information to good use.
Glad to share. A lot of videos been put up in last 6 months. :)
I have very strong legs but all that strength was built by cycling over years and years and of course most of the time you are cycling your legs are curled up so I have BIG flexibility issues. I have overcome them a little in the past 5 years but this video looks like it will help a lot, so thanks for posting.
Start with 3 days a week. Most people can't handle training same strenuous activity every day, due to lack of recovery time. If you feel like you can do more then 3 times a week, try it, but proceed with caution.
There should be a resting period of 24-72 hours depending on the intensity of the workouts. 48 hours is the usual amount of time given to the body to recover.
Mastera7x, You shoul do the one leg dead lift before going into other exercises. Stay with that exercise for a while. Chances are you have moved on to the next step before finishing that one.
awesome stuff.
Ive been doing Muay Thai for a while now and always had a lot of pain when round kicking anywhere above my standing leg knee height. i get a pain similar to ukatam, a pain in my upper outer thigh of my standing leg. this is the most in depth information ive seen on this problem. great vid, thanks man i will be doing these exercises
I'm not gonna lie, when I first turned on the video I thought this was going to be a joke but holy shit you're good
Dave, with the amount of information provided, It can be safely said, that it will take 4 weeks, 2 days and 5 hours.
bulk doesnt have much effect on flexibility. speed- yes. flexibility- no.
you could be 250 pounds and still be able to do the splits.
i'm a skinny girl, 19 years old, 115 pounds. - i did ballet & yoga for taekwondo, and still cant do splits or a full side kick.
you're not alone ^^
There is a section for everything. A section for speed, for focus, edurance, power, height, a numerous other modalities.
this is the best technique i've seen so far, helped me alot thanks.
If you also are scared to use kicks in sparring then work on unilateral balancing, it'll both improve ability and confidence in it. Stuff like pistol squats, 1-legged deadlifts, doing slow kicks, stuff with eyes closed, etc.
Thank you for your comment.
Stretching alone is not always a sure way to get flexible.
cool video. i have been in taekwondo training for 8 months and now have a side kick in my form.(Won Hyo) this video will be very helpful in my flexabitlity. thanks
Dude i sucked at side kicks until i watched this video. Thanks bro!
You can hold on to something if you like. However you won't have anything to hold on to when you are throwing kicks in combat. Start with simple balance exercises such as standing on one leg.
Wow this video is really helpful... The best stretching technique I've ever seen in a long time :D
I am glad it helped you.
andylt01,
Thank you for your comment.
Report your progress.
There are many factors, but in general do these exercises when you are warmed up. Build up to the last exercise with the basic one's. Do them for at least few weeks first.
the best and very clear instructions, i am hoping to buy the DVD.
