I can never thank you enough. I've been doing static stretches for 8 months (time since I started Muay Thai) with very little improvements in my kicks and my hip mobility, but this is a game changer, my hips never felt so loose. Gonna do this everyday before class and after a month I'll post the results.

Well judging by how hard this was and how inflexible I am in these positions, as a muay thai practitioner, I am going to be continuing with these drills 3 to 4 times a week like you say. Thanks!

@williamdavis3590 2 года назад

Okay, so 3 weeks later I'm seeing a lot of progress. I'm almost able to do the whole thing but I usually get stuck at rep 32 or 33 of the last exercise. My legs have gotten a lot stronger though I can tell! going to keep it up for at least one more month, probably longer. My goal is to hit a high kick like it's second nature. Last week I threw one on a shorter opponent like it was nothing though so that was proof of the progress!!

This video truly is gold! I've never been flexible enough kick to my side higher than knee level. After two weeks of doing this, it still hurts like a motherf... to do this stuff. But I actually realized, that I could already kick someone to the armpit. Not that it would be cool to kick anybody to the armpit, but damn it feels good to know I could be able to be this flexible!

@draneyx5415 Год назад

Wow… this was quite the wake up call for the lack of strength in my hips. As someone pretty active I’ve still neglected this specific area of training. I’ll be doing this for the foreseeable to improve drastically!! Thanks dude

@gobbysauce 26 дней назад

I’ve been doing martial arts for years and have been struggling with my kicks for pretty much the whole time. I’ve tried stretching and kick drills but it hasn’t gotten me to the point where I can do a high kick or anything higher than my pecs. I’m going to try this and really work on it because it’s about time I can throw some good kicks. Thanks for sharing your exercise!

@Bellathor Год назад

Getting barely to hip height is so demoralizing lol. Not even sure if I'm doing anything useful in that particular stretch and somehow raising it further seems practically impossible. But I guess it is useful if the idea in that stretch is to work the muscles in a static position - even if it is as terrible as barely hip height while staying somewhat upright. Either way, than you for the video. I've done it a few times already.

@DanOfek 4 месяца назад

1. Lean against a chair and lift the leg as high as you can for 30 seconds 2. 10 Leg swings 3. 3 Heights - hold 5 seconds for each one. Hardest, hard, easy 4. Fold your leg and crank the knee using your hand as high as you can for 20 seconds 5. Fold the leg again and crank it up 50 times 6. Fold the leg and open and close the kick 50 times 7. Loosen the body with hip rotation and such

@amisfitpuivk 2 года назад

Thanks, I'll be working on this for sure. I think I actually had atrophy in my left gluteus minimus or medius; realized it when I started doing routines like this. What's weird is that I can lift that leg decently, but standing on it while I lift the other tires my weak muscle wayyy more (must be the small movements that prevent you from falling forward), so this might look like it focuses on the raised leg, but it's a definite way to improve your balance on your grounded leg as well. I'm not surprised one of my muscles was super weak, we really don't use these muscles naturally.

@Erekkii 6 месяцев назад

Been boxing for years later transitioned to kicboxing and my kicks weren’t going high even tho I always stretched so much. Never realized it was the hip and glute strength that was missing. Amazing routine already feels better after the first time!!

@washy6276 7 месяцев назад

for me or anybody else: comments: make sure to pivot your supporting leg towards whatever you're using to balance yourself every stretch for **both** legs use an object to help balance first stretch: hold leg at a high point for **30 seconds** second stretch: dynamic leg swings, **10 reps each** third stretch: hold leg at 3 different stages: max > medium > recovery, **5 seconds each. 3 sets with no break** fourth stretch: lift your knee into a kick chamber, grab your knee, and pull it up max height for **30 seconds** fifth stretch: lift your knee naturally and move up and down between max and slightly lower than max, **30 reps (count the max lift)** sixth stretch: lift your knee as high as you can, extend and then retract, **30 reps (count both the extend and retract)** seventh stretch (my own): get down on one knee and lift your other leg up as high as you can (like the first stretch but on your knee) **30 seconds** cooldown: hip rotations

Gabriel I would like to suggest you review this, as pushing thru any pain is an unwise statement in and of itself, but even moreso because this really needs a pretext to clarify if anyone has a narrow hip joint. I was stretching and flexing dynamically for months before it became clear to me that having my toes higher than my heel would be critical to avoid joint inflammation. I have now made sure to rotate my toes outwards as I extend to make sure that I open the joint up. This is critical for anyone with a narrow hip joint.

@shooreshgolzari3885 Год назад
