Wow, this is amazing. I had problems with a high kick, even despite my good stretch I could not do a high side kick. After 5 minutes of this stretching I kick much higher than after years of training. Wow wow wow Bless you ... I'm going to kick somebody right now

[@BobandBrad]

Lol

I am 68 and have been training in martial arts since my mid-teens. Stiff hips have always been a problem for me but these exercises have already improved my hip flexibility. Thanks from the UK gents!

[@momzilla9491]

Ok Bob. It is time to show us all up, and do the splits! XOX

[@FRESHL1887]

Great video! My additional advice: if you want to kick higher, practice kicking high !!! Over and over again.

[@morbidmike]

As a muay thai guy I wanna thank you so much for this I've tried 1000s of different stretches some of these really made a huge difference!

[@rickyhurtado]

I took a few years off and somehow I can’t kick (sideways) above my own waistline. I never noticed the flexibility actually go away and now it’s painful to even try. Glad I found this, I’ll start working on it asap.

[@gobbysauce]

Kajukenbo student here. I’ve always had tightness at the hip keeping me from getting my kicks up higher. Thank you for this.

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

I'm 71---it was back in 67' that I became interested in Gung Fu. I've always enjoyed the hand and arm techniques of Wing Chun. But having quick feet was always especially enjoyable. My legs are still very fast, despite my age. These stretches are great---painful, but great! Of course I take them slowly. But I have never stopped stretching since the late 60's, so these stretches weren't TOO un- comfortable. Thanx, guys.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing, Keep up the good work!!! Brad

[@AverageGabriel]

Gung Fu?? What about Gum Fu? IT'S KUNG FU. There is no gung Fu.

[@Nimtrix]

@@AverageGabriel Incorrect. Kung fu and gung fu are just different ways of romanizing the same words 功夫. In Hanyu Pinyin, which is the official romanization system for Standard Mandarin Chinese, it is stylized gōngfu.

[@seanferguson5460]

Man! I don't know how you guys manage daily posts -- on subjects I need but never thought to ask about! I've been trying to kick up my heels for decades!

Bob and Brad are right. Please don't over do it. I suggest following their method. 🙂

Perfect timing!

[@furyano1251]

I love this video. I have different backgrounds in martial arts. I’m older now and like to find good stretch advice and cheats. This video and the stretches demonstrated are all that is needed to achieve high kicks. Forget all that was learned before and just work these stretches and see the best results in a shorter period of time. ✌️👍🤙

[@honestlee9921]

Awesome! I really needed this video. Im doing kick boxing but I really struggle even kicking body height sometimes

The intro is catchy as hell 🔥

[@izwaf9805]

im 35 this year, i didn't do any exercises for the past 10 years. Started my muay thai journey like 5 months ago..my flexibility is so bad that i can't even do roundhouse kick up to the waist. i desperately need this and i hope this stretches can help me improve my flexibility to kick higher but i can only do the 1st and 2nd exercise for now because i don't have the equipment to do the 3rd exercise 😔

[@michaelelliott330]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@The6thRonin]

I have been in the arts since 1969 and I have always loved stretching. I have never tried tried these before and thank you so much for sharing them.

So entertaining end educational ! Thank you guys youre so awesome 👍💪😉

[@jonathanzuniga3681]

Love how you guys crack on each other! Can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video, well I guess I can… I really appreciate this video.

[@jwfloating-world]

Thanks guys. As a martial artist for nearly 40years, I laid off training for a couple of years and found my I found my left hip just locked up. At age 57 these will help a great deal. Thanks.

[@BobandBrad]

You’re welcome.

[@jwfloating-world]

I’ve tried these stretches four times over the last week and found a distinct improvement in the hip capsule. As my adductors have always been tight, this prevented a lot of movement. I found using yoga blocks helped with stability. Also so working to doodle like Brad.

[@austinsavage]

This really works! Even my wife has noticed i could kick higher after watching this video. Coz now she gets sidekicked on her nose instead of her chest. Happy kicking everyone 🦶

[@GeorgeFranquiz]

Thank you for the tip, nice video for martial artist

[@rejoyce318]

The stretches remind me of exercises and stretches on a Pilates reformer.

[@emeraldlucky1274]

I suffer from an injury in my leg for almost 2 years where the joint clicks and feels painful when i did my exercise, but when i found the videos of this guys about stretching it gets cured and now I can do exercise better.

[@marianl3447]

I LOVE you both...been away for awhile and back when can...YOU are still sooo cool.

[@mmgibson1]

Very informative! I wonder if these stretches might also help with my running, or rather, racewalking. I don't need to kick higher, but I bet that my hip capsules would benefit from being less tight. I'm going to turn 58 in September and have learned that I should keep myself flexible, but not to do too much until I am used to the move, or the dreaded DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) will get me the next day.

This is the funniest most insightful video I’ve ever seen

[@StephanPanter]

one of the better comedy-channels here on KZbin 👍😅

[@cose415]

I skateboard & I needed this thank u guys 🙏🏾

[@Dumphy100]

This is great, thank you Bob and Brad. When identifying how your 'body is made' I find it hard to know if i can actually go any further over time. For example, when i hug my knees to chest, when knees are together there is a space between them and my chest and ever so slight discomfort in the hip joints when at maximum hip flexion. But if i part the knees slightly i can bring them to my armpits easily. I have difficulty getting into firelog and pigeon poses for yoga. When i lie down on my back, legs straight, heels down and abduct the hips one at a time using a strap i feel the same mild to slight discomfort in the abductor region. When stretching hamstrings and flexors I don't feel this type of discomfort at all. I think what I am saying is how to tell if a stretch is just grinding a couple of bones together or here in this insightful video the hip capsule. Could aforementioned discomfort be a stretching of the hip capsule. It should feel pain free as mentioned. So does the hip capsule stretch akin to muscle fibres in that they lengthen and possibly shorten over time if left 'unstretched' or perhaps more like a tendon or ligament stretch? And how do they differ to muscular stretching anyway? I'm a bit lost with the knowledge but do remember i used to kick higher decades ago...

[@fadirezkallah7133]

I'm an amateur martial artist and all I can say is thank you so so much!!! These are alleviating some of my hip stiffness. I hope ine day I can help people the way you do.

[@BobandBrad]

Im glad this was helpful, these stretches do really address hip flexiblity well. Good luck with your training. Brad

[@horsetrader186]

Bob and Brad, I'm not a martial artist but I'm always interested in learning new exercises to help keep me fit and healthy as I age. I have incorporated these stretches into my daily routine and all I can say is WOW. The result is increased flexibility, increased range of motion and any pain I have/ or had in the hip capsule (due to stiffness), literally disappears in less than a minute. Thank you guys for all that you do.

[@ricoford1931]

Thanks for sharing these excersises and tips. I am 50 years old and took up karate again 2 years ago after a 30 year break (doing other types of sport). I try to regain my flexibility and found that my hips are now the limiting factor. Excersises like to ones you show in the video feel really good and seem to help. I have one question though: When doing these excersises (after karate training), I feel extra restricted in my hips 2-3 days after as if I need a relatively long recovery time. How frequent would you recommed doing these excersises? And would it be better to go ligth 4-5 days per week compared to go heavy say 2 times per week?

[@J3unG]

This is a great series. Would you please expand it to include stretches to the calf muscles (front kicks) and stretches that help to 'loosen' the knee joints ankle and toes. I'm looking not just to expand range of motion but to keep the joints loose and pliable as I move. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@BobandBrad]

I did make a video on this. Search Bob and Brad on KZbin with ths subject and it should come up. Best wishes. Brad

[@IALFAOMEGA]

Gentlemen, you re awesome

[@annahambalkova296]

Thank you! It's a great video! But what can people with hypermobility do, if not these? I've been doing taekwondo for more than 17 years now; I started as a kid. I'm still struggling with side splits and high side and roundhouse kicks because of knee pain, though. I'm hypermobile, but in spite of that, I'm stiff in my hips in some ways and can't and never could do side splits. Stretching and follow-up training always caused me great knee pain and a lot of anxiety because of feelings of instability in my knees. Doing side splits hurts a lot more in my knees than doing front splits. As I'm getting older, I'm experiencing pain in other joints too. What can I do in terms of stretching, while being hypermobile, if I still need to improve the height of my kicks? I've already almost torn my ACL in right knee and my LCL's and MCL's are way too loose. (I'm not doing only taekwondo, I often do other sports and a lot of knee and other joints strengthening exercises to balance the damage taekwondo does.) I've been looking for some good piece of advice for people who still need to stretch in spite of hypermobility for a very long time, but the advice usually is don't stretch.

Well thanks we do all that in the dojo (kyokushinkaikan)and yes do this for a year and its gona go high easy

Looking forward to being able to perform full leg splits again. Its been years The 20 year olds at work are very surprised how agile and quick that I am. Thanks for the info.
