donn0425 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I need to get my kicks higher, especially my sidekick, however I seem to be pushing the limits of my current flexability, especially in the hips. Can someone please suggest some stretches I can do to increase my flexability so I can kick higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickChick Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 This is possibly the most asked question we have here in the Health & Fitness forum!! Here are just "some" links to threads on this subject with more such links within these threads. You can also do a "Search" here on kick/ height/stretches which will pull up some more threads for you to access. http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4944 http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4368 http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=2300 Basically it come down to stretching those hip flexors! http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4629 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchenault Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Check out the January issue of Martial Arts Presents magazine. It has a great article on stretching to achieve greater plastic flexibility. Billy Blanks is on the cover. Also try http://www.fitzness.com , great article on proper warming up and stretching. And last but not least, check out http://www.stadion.com for Thomas Kurz' series on stretching scientifically. Great resources one and all. Pilsung! Ken ChenaultTFT - It does a body good!
