5 Hip Flexibility Exercises For Karate Training

Open up your tight hips and kick higher with these 5 mobility drills from Jesse Enkamp (The Karate Nerd). No stretching needed!
👉 Link to full program: www.karatebyjesse.com/mobility
These dynamic flexibility exercises work better than static stretches, because it's more functional for martial arts. If you practice Karate or Taekwondo, these movements will improve your high kicks and deep stances. If you practice BJJ / Jiu-jitsu, your hips and lower back will greatly benefit as well.
The key is to incorporate the drills on a regular basis and habitualize them. That's how you become flexible and functional at the same time, without wasting time on old-school passive stretching.

Certainly we are going to invest in that. Should be great stuff. As usual

[@miltonbarnes4049]

Great training, sir, thank you for the video

[@jimducroiset1628]

One of my best investments, use these often. Thank you

[@nutaman60]

Hey Jesse, would you happen to know if these exercises would be beneficial to someone who has had hip arthroscopy surgery?

[@joebradford7308]

Are these stretches and exercises applicable to Kickboxing would you say? Do you think it would be practical?

[@SenseiEmmett]

Who else is practicing more karate now than ever, stuck at home with self isolation, and deep diving youtube, thank you sensei jesse, making jujitsu guys karate nerds...

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Doing my best! Good luck 👍

[@TrainInspired]

I am continually blown away by the number of athletes who lack basic flexibility. These five preview/sample exercises are great! This is the kind of stuff I do a lot in my own training.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Wonderful! The key is to understand the relationship between flexibility and mobility 👍

[@bhakoo-_-5198]

"Do you struggle with flexibility?" "awesome!" 😂

[@paulhurst8113]

Jesse executing these moves like a true pro 💯

[@kiltymackilterson7489]

I’ve been doing a Russian style/training method for several years and we use a lot of Russian dance to work on our flexibility. That exercise you do around 3:19 is almost exactly like something we do in class. It’s really awesome to see that some exercises are just universal like that.

[@kiltymackilterson7489]

@@rb-oo5mz I’m not sure what it’s called, or even if it’s considered a dance on its own, but it’s pretty much the same thing Jesse does, except we drop the knee of our extended leg (his right leg when he starts) to the floor, then when we shift our weight to the other leg we switch our knees so the other knee is on the floor.

[@benjaminvega7186]

It's amazing that every time I have a problem, I find a video of yours that solves it

Hi, do you have a more comprehensive training program/subscription. With this coronavirus going around, I want my whole family to use this time to excercise and keep their karate honed. Thanks

[@KARATEbyJesse]

The full mobility program is here: www.karatebyjesse.com/mobility

[@mauriceshapero7200]

Great videos Jesse - thank you so much. I've been watching your videos for years now. Do you think it's possible to achieve a full splits at the age of 55? I've been practicing karate since age 13 and have very good flexibility and mobility, but have never been able to do the splits. I introduced PNF a few years ago and have had a great increase in flexibility. Do you think there's an age where you just don't improve anymore?

[@KARATEbyJesse]

For sure, the key is the ”SAID” principle

[@mauriceshapero7200]

Use as dynamic warmup

I saw a lot of black belts that looked like they haven't been flexible in 15 or 20 years it all showed by the lack of motivation in the mobility stretches.
