Whats up guys, I recently had a guy come up to me and asked for advice on how to have be able to kick like me, with high kicks that landed fast but still had control. He said he had been static stretching nearly 7x A DAY for nearly a year and still can't kick that well 🤷🏽♂️ Here was what I shared: - Reduce the static stretching to 2x a week! ❌ Static stretches helps improve range of movement but ultimately do not help that much to improve your kick control, strength, power, etc. - Train your hip strength more 🏋️♀️ Adductor/Abductor work via machines, resistance bands, weights, etc. That is where you can actually have the control of your kicks and the ability to hold your legs high. - When lifting weights for legs, do fast and powerful concentric movements - i.e for squatting push the weight up fast, for RDLs straighten up with the weight fast- this builds power in your lower body 🦿 - Kick Kick KICK! Kick the bag, kick pads, heck even shadowkick if thats all you got as much as possible to build your kick technique and power better and push yourself to throw higher kicks as you go. It will be uncomfortable at first but eventually your body will acclimate. 🥊
