could u be a bit more specific on what ur saying, i dont really understand.

thanks guys for ur advice. im quite far from the break test so im not too worried about that. but what i really am having trouble on is my flexibility. all the other kids in my class can do splits and touch their toes and such, i can hardly do this, what should i do to help me get through this problem? and doing the splits is so painful. also what are some good exercises to improve my speed and strength with my legs and body.

side kicks and spin kicks that i know i use my heel, front kick is the ball of the bottom of ur foot, round house kicks and others are usually at the top of my foot. i figured it takes time to get the pain away, because my blackbelt friends foot is very flat compared to mines, and he can kick practically anything and not experience that much pain. u ever heard of those guys that roll down their shins very hard with base ball bats, then kick trees? thats crazy.

Hi guys. i just started tkd a week ago. i find it really fun and can help me with self defense on the streets. i was wondering what are some ways to get better. and if TKD is really good on streets. i read it really depends if your instructors only teach olympic sparring. so how can i tell if they are teaching me self defense that i can use on the streets?? i also need help on breaking, but today i saw a kid half my size break a board, so im not too worried about that yet . but i wouldnt know. and also when i kick with my foot, it usually hurts like hell. my friend said you just gotta flatten it out. are there any techniques on flattening and killing the nerves in my foot so i can kick anything? thanks. advice is really appreciated.
