Taekwondo Kicking Drills | Kicking Control and Leg Strength | GNT Tutorial

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I have been doing Taekwondo for over 8 years and Tricking for 4 years :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem and thank you for your appreciation :) That's great! I'm glad you feel that way and i really appreciate your support. Thank you :)

[@murilofialho6692]

I'm 13 years old and I practice Taekwondo since I were five. Congratulations, keep doing this, it's so helpful! Hugs from Brazil :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) Well leg control is being able to control your leg, extend it out slow, etc. Balance is about weight distribution and remaining upright. For this you don't necessary have to have good leg control but you need balance when it comes to leg control hence why some drills are very similar. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you find them helpful :) It's a combination of both. Practice both sides and you can't go wrong as each side will in turn help the other :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you appreciate me making them and thank you for your blessing and support :) Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you liked it and think that. Thank you :) In the future i will do :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Really appreciate you saying that and good luck with your future training :) Thank you for your appreciation and i will do my best to :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think so and I appreciate your support. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad they have helped and that you like the way I structure my tutorials. Maybe in the future :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you like the advice and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you liked the tutorial and that it helped. Thank you and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad they help :) As long as you have built the exercises up and can do them to a good level already. Otherwise, you will struggle and damage your legs. Also with ankle weights, don't do any fast motions as it puts too much pressure on your joints. Hope that helps and good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think so and i really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'll add it to the list and thank you for your suggestions :)

Thanks to this tutorial, and the stretching tutorial, my kicking went from 90 degrees (waist high) to 135 degrees (higher than my shoulder) in like two good sessions. I am 6'5" and can Roundhouse Kick training dummy set to like 6'11" or 7 feet on the temple. I went ahead and subscribed because these tutorials are well explained and very effective, not to mention the VERY fast feedback from Aaron. Thank you GingerNinjaTrickster. I'll be waiting for those combination tutorials!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you and no problem :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you for your appreciation my friend :) I'm glad they help and no problem :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think so. Have fun :)

[@Hope-Forever]

Got my black stripes yesterday and now I definitely have to work on more control over my kicks. Your video helps me so much,thanks!!!:)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Cool and i'm glad it will help :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think so and thank you for your appreciation :) Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I don't have one yet but these leg control drills will improve your muscular endurance in your leg and if you want to challenge yourself more, put ankle weights on and that will get you strong legs :) Will probably put up more drills in the future though :) Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think so. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem and thank you for your appreciation :) Them tutorials will definitely help. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem. I'm glad it helped and thank you for your appreciation my friend :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem. Appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) I'm glad they help and i have made one already. It's in the same tutorial as the rear roundhouse. I have to separate videos on the roundhouse. One that comes back and recoils and the other that goes straight through. Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's true and a lot of people do that but i consider that more for stretching your leg. This is for leg control so I like to use the hand as your leg usually takes more of the weight than doing it with a belt. Hope that makes sense and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem, I'm glad the help and they aren't that big at all, i'm a UK size 9 :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that and I'm glad they are helping. Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you liked it :) that's great and that's next on my list weird enough. Will do my best. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem. I'm glad you like them and think that. Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think so. Thank you :) No problem and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you like them and i hope you have fun. No problem and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Definitely. Flexing the foot forward or tightening it up works different muscle parts in the leg, hence why you feel more one than the other. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I don't fight anymore but i used to under ITF Rules. In ITF you are allowed to punch to the face and this is why hand techniques are used more. WTF is mainly sport orientated and geared towards Olympic Sparring but still contains Self defense techniques. ITF is considered more traditional and focuses a little more on self defense. Obviously some clubs and instructors might choose to teach differently in either though but each should be respected for what they offer though :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Is it side figure 8 exercise that it does it on? As some people have cracks in their hip when they do the outward and inward crescent kick motion. If it is, it's quite common but get it checked out if you are unsure. Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you liked it :) That's unfortunate but i hope you get back to your best soon :) I'd recommend 2 a week. No problem and i will do my best to :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great :) I will be making more videos in the future and this video will definitely help with those :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

It depends on what you want to improve for. These drills, stretching, dynamic stretching and repetition of kicks will improve kicking ability. If you want to be better at sparring then you need to practice movement, timing, reaction, etc. There are so many things to improve on, i just practice all round when i train. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) Good luck with your training and i hope you progress swiftly :)

[@gutgrinder17]

I started karate in January and now I'm already an orange belt. Your karate vids helped a lot. Thanks. Continue with you tutorials. Good work!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you and good luck :) Don't hate as the true challenge is against oneself. Be determined, work hard and you will keep progressing :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) No problem and good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem. I'm glad it will help :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great :) I will do! I'm glad you are finding them helpful and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you :) I'm glad it helps and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Yes! They are very helpful in building leg control :) Just don't do any quick motions with your leg so you don't damage your joints and if there is too much strain then lower your leg. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem and i'm glad you thought so :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think so and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Really appreciate that. Thank you :) Well i have been training for just over 8 years but have been able to do these drills to a good level about a year and a half to 2 years in. It depends on you really, i was quite lazy at the beginning regarding certain things so i probably could have progressed faster. Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) No problem and that should give you efficient progress. Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem. I'm glad it helped :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) Yea, just keep working hard training with correct form and you will progress swiftly. Good luck with your training :) Thank you for your appreciation my friend :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great. I'm glad you think so. Good luck with your grading :)

[@karelenhenkie666]

I started doing this about 2 weeks ago and can already feel the difference when going from side to round and so on . Thanks a lot!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great! I'm glad the video has helped and good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)

[@MentorCDS]

Please can you upload a video showing how to make proper chamber for different kicks???

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Hi :) No problem and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) 2-3 times a week should be efficient enough along with all your other training. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

UKITF. Really appreciate you saying that and i will do my best to :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

This certainly helps but their are many other skills that are needed like good balance, adequate flexibility, etc. Good luck with your training :)

[@anthonylincolnhaniff6073]

you are a very good teacher, the exercises are great i will start doing them today, thanks for sharing this with the world. I live in Trinidad and i'm learning a lot from your videos. Thanks again and keep it up.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad it helped and increase the height or wear ankle weights :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) I'm from Wales, UK :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

This is what the tutorial is for so work hard, be consistent and good luck :)

[@dosanshane]

Great tutorials Sir you are a credit to Tae kwon-do. As a Tae Kwon-do instructor for 12 years there is still lots for me to learn and a lot of your tutorials are making there way in to my class thank you for the effort of putting them together and sharing your talent

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you like them and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) That's great! There is always more to learn which makes what we do so fascinating :) Have fun and good luck with your training/teaching :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you like it and that it helps :) I have stretching tutorials and a tutorial on 2 versions of the split kick so check them out and they will help you. Good luck :)

[@urmom8mypie]

It's really awesome you're providing these kind of tutorials and advice free. Very helpful and practical, thank you and blessings and best wishes for your future.

You know I love your videos. Now I'm exploring your tutorials and I really enjoy your "lessons". Keep up the great work. :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great and I'm glad that they helped :) I will do my best. Thank you :)

[@adamlantos2319]

This is some excelent advice.Already started these exercises on my own and each and every word you say in this video about them is true

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you and yes i have :) I recommend them if you get your leg control to a good level before hand because if you do it at the beginning of your training it's very difficult and increase your chances of injury. I think of it like a novice weight lifter going straight in to bench 100kg. Obviously not a good idea lol If you do use them, don't do any quick kicking motions or it will put too much pressure into your joints. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem and i hope it helped. Thank you and good luck with your training :)

[@am72am]

thanks a lot for posting. I actually use some of your ideas for my own classes

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you will find it helpful. No problem and good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you and i will do my best to :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you :) Maybe in the future :)

[@kobe242303]

Thank you Aaron for keeping your word and loading this. May you have continued success sir.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Sorry to hear that and i hope you recover swiftly. No problem. It may be but i would ask your doctor or physio whether these would be beneficial with your weakness. Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Definitely, among other areas too :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great! Congratulations :) I will probably make a tutorial on this in the near future. No problem and i'm glad i could help :)

[@lekshindev3280]

Oh man!! Thanks :D Can feel the difference in the control of the leg!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem :) I hope the video helps and good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you my friend :)

[@ninjakillerhd8666]

thanks I had my trial class yesterday and I'm signing up tomorrow I've got class w times every week I had back round with martial arts so I'm being out straight to the more advanced classes and I know I'm gonna love it

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

+NinjaKiller HD That's great! Have fun and good luck :)

[@LycanRace]

Thank you so much for all the tutorials and hard work, Aaron!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I think i know how to extend a side kick by now lol It's either the angle or i just went out to the position of locking it out straight in alignment without thinking of an actual kick as it's for leg strength, not actually hitting something anyway :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem :) That's great and good luck with your future training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great! Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great. It's really fun, one of my favorite exercises and i'm sure you will enjoy it too. Thank you and good luck with your training :)

[@YalnizSavasci9]

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

[@MrKise93]
