Hi, great video. Im a white belt but i find it hurts my hip when i execute the turning kick. I also cannot execute a turning kick very high. Could you do a video on some stretches and tips on how to generally improve your kicking height and power? Thankyou.
Good Question...Certainly you are correct in many ways. I have suffered some injuries that have limited my range of motion (I complain not), & while training with my my issue, I determined alot about angle of the target. For instance the rib cage narrower at the bottom, so a little angle helps take the force in the direction of my target and the ball of my foot finds the jaw far easier than it does the temple anyway! Nice hand techniques in your video are you a Bosnian Soldier? P.S.
great kicks man your movements are very fluid i am training myself for self-defense and i pretty good with strikes but my kicks and endurance need work
i want to keep my balance when i do the side kick then step behind side kick because i always lose balance.. any exercises or tips to keep on balance? :/
I think a very under discussed aspect in martial arts is footwork. Just like the silence between the notes is vitally important in music the step between the kicks is vitally important in self-defense and sparring. This moment when seemingly nothing is happening is extremely important as preparation to your next move. When we practice kicking drills in line we are always starting from a fighting stance and returning to fighting stance for the next iteration, the point being we are starting from a stable position. So understand that any kick is not finished until you land in a stable stance and that successful execution of the next kick or even punch will depend on landing in a stable stance from the previous kick. Notice that Chief Instructor Bateman is always well balanced and always lands in a stable stance. That makes subsequent kicks much easier. Also some kicks as in the case of the cross steping side kick require starting from a specific stance namely a side stance. In this case Chief Instructor Bateman lands his side kick in a side stance so he ready for his cross stepping side kick.
Thanks for checking us out!
