How to improve the height and power of your martial arts kicks,
Back kicks are a powerful kick , what i am trying to learn is how to increase the range and motion of my kicks, my leg kicks although have enough power to defend myself, the muscles on the back of my legs still feel tights and the speed and range of motion need allot of practice.
Kick power is generated by the speed and force of a kick to the opponent, and to be able to have this power and speed you need to be in control of the balance and position of your body to enable the kick to move through the full range of motion and connect at full force. By being flexible with the spinning kick, you can easily use this spinning motion to hit the target in either the legs , ribs head or arms.
A strong spinning kick to the leg or knee of the opponent may be all it takes to finish the fight and escape from danger. My current routine for improving the height and power of my martial arts and kick boxing kicks are using technique if have found on these videos from Youtube. Using a wall to stretch my legs out and using chairs and other objects to place my feet and stretch out. Also taking time a kicking programme sould not be rushed , allowing at least an hour to build the range of motion in to my hips and legs. Often holding kick positions against the wall so that the kick moves and balance can be developed.
