Thanks for your advice, it has been a great help for me. I still enjoy training so I'll keep practising and see if my flexibilty improves. I also will check out other schools.

Hello, I'm new here because I want to ask you a question. When I was little I played many years of basket and then they said I wasn't flexible. A year of 4 ago I started powertraining and now I've practised a year karate but I'm thinking of quiting because my kicks don't improve. I've tried several things like an exercise where you put your back on the ground and your legs up against the wall open for 15 minutes. That's an exercise my sensei teached me but they don't have much time for a 22 years old boy who starts karate. Their attention goes to the higher level karate and the really young boys because they have future in the sport. Now my question for you is what can I do to improve my kicks or am I just not made for karate? I don't want to change club because an other club is far from my home. Maybe my kicking technique still isn't good because when I do mawashi my limbs also hurt, everything feels like it works against me Thanks Sorry for my english
