I've always had extremely tight hips from years of sitting. I've tried all kinds of different stretches with little to no help. That hip stretch from the 50-50 position was absolutely incredible, been only doing it for a week and I don't think I've had such loose and mobile hips in 10 years. Thank you very much.
In my utmost humble opinion. “ Nothing more rewarding than getting ones thesis validated by those who exceeds oneself in excellence” “ Strength is key to flexibility, which in turn is key to mobility” Also important to take notice of, how Mr Daru, also increases not only the mobility in concordance with flexibility, but the stabilizing strength aspects throughout the entirety of the movements, ensuring that one gains control as well as “ Proprioception” ie sensitivity/ body awareness of overall ranges of motion, which is incredibly important when it comes to applying one’s kicks efficiently( actually being able to hit desired targets) without compromising one’s structural integrity/ balance( as well as for being able to kick without injuries) Mr Thomas Kurz( Stretching scientifically) also concurs with Mr Daru, and I’ve implemented identical concepts into my personal training regiments, as well with my students. An honor to be able to observe and learn, and sincere appreciations for sharing your expertise with all of us sir. Sincere regards. Fellow martial artist. Tom Framnes. Norway.
This is fucking brilliant. The best hip mobility routine I have ever seen. Bravo, well done, and thank you for putting in the time and work to share this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for this Phil. I definitely need to do these to improve the height on my Muay Thai roundhouses. Btw, I love the way you teach & train! Your optimization of athletic performance based on science makes you the most credible trainer I've seen. I'm very greatful that you're willing to share your knowledge with us. I'd like to understand more thoroughly the scientific concepts you base your training style on. Are there any books on kinesiology or such that you'd recommend?
This routine is amazing. I was dying doing the Pails and Rails. Thank you so much for this tutorial, coach, I wrote it down and will practice this. My Muay Thai kicks got so much better after doing Body Armor 3 times around (total 24 weeks) during the NYC lockdown. I’m eternally grateful!
I have been following stretching routines for a couple of months but was not happy with the progress. Found this routine and after just a couple of weeks the difference is veery apparent… even walking feels better. My medior glutes used to cramp all of the time and now they’re much more capable. My hips have opened up a lot, my legs are much more flexible, ankles are better. Thanks a ton, I’ve been showing and helping friends as well and the same goes for them!
@@PhilDaruStrong I'll be starting to incorporate some of your shoulder work as well. Messed them up playing baseball and they've been burning like hell (getting better though, slowly) during (kick)boxing and MMA, I'll let you know in a couple of weeks
I just found this channel and I am going through some of your stretches and man the feeling of relief I am having is wild right now. So many things are cracking and popping in my body but I am feeling amazing. Been feeling very tight after a tough muay thai summer camp, and your knowledge is going to bring my game to the next level thank you very much
I'm an exercise science major and also MMA fighter (jiu-jitsu,judo, muay thai, boxing) and I love this channel. Its like it mixes both the worlds that I currently live in all in one. Thank you for this video I always wanted to learn to kick higher, I'm 5 ft 11 and I always thought I could never high kick. I will use this video and see where it takes me
I do sidekicks for breakfast. And I do them with a small jump thrust kick style, then rock back to the other leg and do the same thing. I do about fifty a day. Plus, full stretching, a series of kicks and punches. I'm 80. I like your stretching routine for side kick.
pumped i found this channel .. thank you for the tips .. today is a rest day but im trying this routine out .. just wrote the steps down one by one .. lookin forward to testing out later .. been doing another routine you showed for more power in punching and i already see a difference very good training tips
i like how most of the routines on here are targeted towards mma/fighters in general, where as the routines are just amazing for all around functionality.
Who else has an extremely hard time balancing their flexibility/mobility with their strength work? I feel like I’ve always struggled to maintain flexibility.. when I was competing in MMA I had to lift less due to this. Curious to how Westside athletes manage this on the day to day.
I learned 4 different stretches man. wow I thought this was BS at first or for beginners but dude. really GREAT EXPLAINATION and tutelage. WELL DONE WELL SAID!! and THANK YOU FOR YOU POST!!!!
This routine is the SHIT!!!!!! Thanks for uploading this to UA-cam I have been working on my hips for a minute and this is by far the best routine on the internet. That couch stretch is too intense is there a good progression to work into it? I’m just having a hard time getting into the position without shaking uncontrollably.
This is feedback prior to testing this out but it looks very interesting and efficient, I'll do this one for sure. I wonder how long does it take you usually to do it all. BTW I'M amazed you can do all this so soon after your knee surgery!
Thanks for the usual great content, Phil. Do flexible adductors equal strong adductors? Can someone have strong adductors yet be inflexible in the same muscle?
Not necessarily if a muscle Is shortened it may limit the ability to optimally contract but too much laxity in a particular muscle may hinder force production
Serious knowledge. Subscribed! Is this to be done specifically before a workout (kicking, plyonetrics etc as you have mentioned at the end) Or would this work as a general hip mobility routine in the morning.
Awesome exercises. I need this as my hips are tighter than a mermaids bra. Question - is this done on a rest day or before a session? All that static stretching puts me off doing a big session after this. Actually, ignore that. You mention at the end.
Great work big bro 👍🤠👍🤠....u Teaching the truth , I follow chinese to takwondo routine video and this the best one that I ran into, keep teaching bro 👣👣 Whoever put thumps down must have super stiff legs lmao 🤣😆🤣
Hi Phil, just found this gem and did the workout. Great channel. I recently had a hip injury in bjj. Range of motion is at 90% but hamstring power is at around 15-20. Can't run for more than 200 yards and have to stop the roll multiple times for fear of hyperextension. Do you have any exercises/stretches I can do? Thanks in advance
What should be the sets and rep number for swing through lunges ? You have mentioned two times in the video. Does it means two reps or two sets of 3-5 reps like other stretches in the video.
As a 51yr old strength and combat coach, I loved this. Great teaching/instruction! I watched it through once and then walked through it myself. A number of things I've done instinctively, but you gave me more understanding. Appreciate it! Looking forward to following and learning! Thanks
I've been doing this for 2 weeks 3 times a week and I've gained more snap and control with my kicks then I have in 2 months. Mind blowing 🤯
This is one of the best channels that incorporates some of the best, practical routines and exercises. Thank you. 🤙🏼

3yrs behind on this one...but as a vet from the 82nd ABN with fake knees and 2 back surgeries....this one is fucking amazing 👊🇺🇲
The best hip mobility work on the internet. I've only gone through twice and I already feel like a new man. This is my new warm up for lower body day.
In my utmost humble opinion.

Started using many pieces of this routine with a number of my MMA fighters with INCREDIBLE results! Thanks coach!
Wish I had this 30 years ago! Thanks, Phil!

God bless you Phil
Great! It's awesome, thanks a lot, Phil Daru
Excellent video. Very helpful to open hip joints

Hell yeah, I need this video !
Nice, thank you for the tips

That was a really very good instruction on hip mobility. Will be incorporating it into my training and yes iv subscribed
Love this upload Daru, something I need to work on is my hip mobility. I’ve been doing some yoga and trying to strengthen my hip add and abductors 💙
Great explanation!
Great video bro! Needed that!
This is feedback prior to testing this out but it looks very interesting and efficient, I'll do this one for sure. I wonder how long does it take you usually to do it all. BTW I'M amazed you can do all this so soon after your knee surgery!
adding this to my daily wim hof breathing for the next month, on day two now and pretty sure after 30 days I wont be disappointed haha
When should we do this like on weekends or mornings after cardio or can we do it before dynamic workout ,
Thanks for the usual great content, Phil. Do flexible adductors equal strong adductors? Can someone have strong adductors yet be inflexible in the same muscle?
Not necessarily if a muscle Is shortened it may limit the ability to optimally contract but too much laxity in a particular muscle may hinder force production

HE'S A ROCKSTARRRRRR!!!!!
Great stuff love it!

If this were implemented into a strength day would it be best done at the beginning or end of a routine?
