Popping noise when kicking

I too would like to know

I had class last night, and it didn't bother me at all. My Master told me to take a night or two off from stretching, and any fast kicking movement to let things heal. So far, so good. But, we shall see.

On the other hand, it could be miniscus damage.

No, it couldn't be meniscus damage. The meniscus (both of them) are located in the knee, and if one was injured, there would be direct joint pain. Also, there would be no "popping" sensation.

Hi Aodhan, actually meniscus refers to any cartilage, in the form of a disk, that serves as a cushion at ends bones of any joint. It is merely that the most common injury to meniscus happens to be at the knee, so people associate it in such a fashion.

Still, the sound is more likely made by ligaments moving over bone, which means the ligaments are likely too tight and need to be massaged and stretched more before being subjected to the torture associated with snap kicks. Visiting a specialist will help you determine if that is the route to take, or whether strengthening exercises are in order, or whether you have to go under the knife to obtain relief.

I found this article, which is very informative on the issue:

And this one, which is also interesting:

Awesome. Thanks man!

Good info!

So far, it's still popping, but I'm going to give it some time. I have a test tomorrow night, then I'm not going to work my lower have until Saturday. Hopefully, that will give it some time.

my friend had problems with his hips, get an MRI at the hospital. just to check.

ALWAYS WARM UP BEFORE STRETCHING!!! and do most of your stretching AFTER you do your martial arts training. and relaaaax. and breeeaaaaathe. breathing is one of the most important parts of stretching.
