Strength and conditioning is the key, no matter how long it takes. Three years is pretty good time period for development. Some people takes them years, mostly because poor health and level of fitness. ..............Everyone wants to be a karate guy until is time to do karate things...............

Hello :) Islam is an arabic word that means Submission or Surrender to God the One and Only, and was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124,000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism to purity and true monotheism. Many Religions that we know, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but with the time, their original teachings and scriptures were corrupted with polytheism or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays. Which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. Allah means the only and one God, the God of all prophets, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgement, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this life and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : 19 Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! 20 Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. 21 Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. 22 It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

Eventually you can use resistance bands to increase the strength. It's the hip pain after that you know you did well. Now don't forget the cossak squats as well. Splits etc. Also important.

That gives me hope, I am about a year in muay thai (with covid breaks) and I have troubles with hips and kicking. I haven´t known you before, but I looked at your sherdog and man, if elite level fighter has at least some difficulties with these, I know that I have to work consistently.

JOE ROGAN for your information even admitted that TKD is inferior to boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling & jiu jitsu.

What a great combination Miss Morris. Thank you so much. I appreciate your videos a lot.

[@SR-mq5cy]

New subscriber, love the all steps the way you took from basic to advanced. This is really helpful for beginners.

[@RAH-c3f]

Very very useful and educational vid! Been struggling with hip flexors and mobility since starting Muay Thai a year ago, can't wait to try these out. Thank you!

[@bradquakeriddell]

More than welcome . Mixing this with stretching is the go forward .

[@8ballout]

Absolutely great video and really impressive how Carl controls his legs and kicks. Thank you for that kind of content.

SOUTH WEST SELF DEFENSE...Thanku Sir...you confirmed for me the drills I use/teach in my school are correct. Love them...especially useful for beginners...OSS..🙏

[@2king5singh2]

You’re the man brother the best type of teacher you break everything down so well 👌

[@FlickSh0tt]

Excellent Teacher!!

[@ThanhTruong-rb8nu]

I love all the breakdowns for drills.I will implement these exercises and get back to you.I have been looking to improve my kicks and i find this so easy to follow. Thank you

[@ironfront9573]

This is the best video on kicks I've seen on youtube. This includes those done by Wonderboy himself because he doesn't condense the information as well.

[@malcolmaustin9462]

Carl, you are a great teacher! you break down the mechanics of good kicking in a good way!

[@mdassadchoudhury2999]

Awesome control Sensei Carl, Thanks for your video.

[@lifeishealinghealthwellnes1979]

This is the missing link to active flexibility. I will start today using Carl's methods to upgrade my kicking skills. Thanks

[@mhv91]

Those kicks are smooth! So good to come across this knowledge

[@kostek8589]

Very well explained. Very helpful. Bravo!

[@miguelpagan8436]

Thank you Sabumin ( Korean for instructor). Great video guys. ITF style at its best. Taekwon

[@frankyehphoto]

Here after seeing the Dober fight. What an impressive performance!

[@1NikkiTate]

Solid drills! Where have you been all my life!

[@JimmyNaraineOfficial]

Top notch instructions, thanks guys

[@bradquakeriddell]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jacksonsangea7139]

I salute you guys, you have extra expertise in the field.....am now able to do likewise. Thanks Keep it up.

[@tynha01]

Really insightful, I've always thought flexibility was the only thing but I never actually thought about how important having strength in your hips is

[@bradquakeriddell]

Yeah bro, same. I didn't know the distinction between flexibility and active mobility until relatively recently.

[@arturl2063]

Wow,what a great video!Thank you for sharing knowledge,it has been very useful and easy to understand not only how to do the movement but how to gradually progress to this movement and what stretches or supporting exercises are required to get there.Excelent

[@dirtworshiper2800]

Great vid. Will be adding this to my routine. Thanks for sharing.

[@MisterKra]

Thank you for Soooo much information. After realizing that I focussed some wrong things in training, Ill go back and start with the basic points. I hope that my prevoius training will shorten the basic part ;)

[@matijamikovic5756]

Excellent video, so grateful for having this material available for free! I can feel my lower back muscles to the sides working, anyone have any gym exercises that work this muscle they can recommend? EDIT: did a google, think what I'[m feeling is the external oblique

[@LECityLECLEC]

A real KZbin diamond thanks for sharing!

[@sadatul1]

Awesome tips, brothers! Thanks for the video. God bless you guys.

[@Jonny400]

EXCELLENT STUFF!!!FOR EVERYONE NOT JUST M.M.A!!!THANKS BOZ👍🤘👊🤛🤜🙏

[@RoseBrosHTX]

Awesome technique brother. That taekwondo ur doing right there. Love it.

[@primoescobar2796]

Such good teachers 🙏

[@bogse]

That was good teaching compared to all other videos I´ve seen, good job, thanks!

[@perembilou]

I love how Brad reproduces those movements and keeps his face composed :). So admiration to both of you guys, I know what it feels to start strengthening and implementing those high knee kicks while keeping your core composed. Cramps and sore/weakeness sensations are how our brain welcomes a new posture or unknown movements so keep it up Brad!! You're a fighter and keep perfecting your skills to make your MMA journey more complete. Totally convinced I will see you in a title contention very soon. Best wishes brothers Note: Carls reminds me a lot of Stephen Thompson postures and high kick motions. Cheers

[@yorkiebilger7805]

This is exactly where I'm falling short and I just couldn't get the chamber right without losing my balance. This guy is an excellent teacher as witnessed by his kicking ability. Looks like I have even more work to do on what really would be considered 'basics' 😮

[@justinwallace269]

This was awesome. I totally know where Brad is coming from because I was having the exact same issues after not training this way for a long time. Great job, guys!

[@naikyunyo]

You two are amazing! Thank you for the lessons!

[@neilbeech4093]

Thanks for your hip mobility stretches

[@foedbray3155]

Great video Brad. Think we all can all include these as part of our training. Cheers,

[@jordonjbmc9321]

1:36 He got no business being this smooth and styling on me like this 😂😂😂

[@exatorian3468]

Straight knowledge bombs!

[@juancorrigan4232]

I liked it and it really will help my kicks.

[@michaelturner7265]

Thanks for teaching me how to do this

[@alexdadson5061]

This video was very helpfull and will be using these drills in my weekly training routine. Thankyou for the tips.
